MGMT-360 Social Purpose Innovation and Entrepreneurship (3)

This course gives students from all disciplines the vision and tools to become part of the social purpose revolution. Today many nonprofits and businesses share common social change goals and methodologies. Both need workers who not only see societal problems differently but also have the practical skills to create new social-purpose projects and ventures. This is the realm of social entrepreneurship which employs strategies from the high-tech space to fuel innovation in nonprofits, business, and government. In this class students become changemakers by using entrepreneurship methodologies to create their own mission-based, social ventures while interacting with social impact leaders in DC and learning about the vast social impact ecosystem. Prerequisite: junior standing.
