Social entrepreneurship has its roots in the broader field of entrepreneurship, but differs in the fact that social entrepreneurs have a primary goal of creating social impact rather than personal or shareholder wealth.

The course will introduce entrepreneurial concepts including social enterprise, impact investing/SROI, social marketing/movements, behavioral economics, strategic CSR practices and legal formation. This course includes a self-directed project to address a societal problem using the disciplines taught in class. Prerequisite: 60 credit hours.
