Intro to Social Entrepreneurship

The Intro to Social Entrepreneurship Course, launched by the Center for Entrepreneurship at the College of Engineering and in partnership with the School of Art & Design and the William Davidson Institute, is designed as a gateway to the emerging field of social entrepreneurship.

In this course, you will be provided with a broad conceptual framework to social entrepreneurship and be exposed to various local, national, and international social entrepreneurs to explore some of the skill sets necessary to effect change in a sustainable manner.

We will also take an in depth look at the issues of healthcare, food, energy, education, and income – in both domestic and international contexts.  Finally, in a multidisciplinary team, you will work on class project in Ann Arbor’s low-income communities, applying what you have learned in the course to solve real world problems.

Open to all disciplines at the undergraduate level. Space is limited so register early.
