- Course Description: ENT 6930 is a special topics section for students pursuing their MS in Entrepreneurship and Applied Technology. Faculty will periodically offer elective courses on topics of interest.
- Please briefly explain why it is necessary and/or desirable to add this course: Needed to compete with national trends
- What is the need or demand for this course? (Indicate if this course is part of a required sequence in the major.) What other programs would this course service? Without a special topics course, we are unable to offer education on specific areas of interest to students. Because entrepreneurship is driven by rapidly changing economic and technology factors, the need exists for faculty to develop and deliver education in numerous areas on a potentially non-reoccurrring basis.
- Has this course been offered as Selected Topics/Experimental Topics course? If yes, how many times? No
- What qualifications for training and/or experience are necessary to teach this course? (List minimum qualifications for the instructor.) Doctorate. Plus Instructors should have some level of applied experience in creating new business and/or social ventures.
- Objectives: To provide students with in-depth, specialized, thematic learning opportunities in areas of entrepreneurship not covered in current core or elective courses.
- Learning Outcomes: Students will demonstrate a comprehensive understanding of the concepts, tools and skills of entrepreneurship and the ability to apply them in problem-solving contexts. Specific learning outcomes will vary dependent on topic.
- Major Topics: Including, but not limited to, innovation, technological change, product commercialization strategies, mergers and enterprise acquisition
- Textbooks: to be determined by course instructor
- Course Readings, Online Resources, and Other Purchases: to be determined by course instructor
- Student Expectations/Requirements and Grading Policy: to be determined by course instructor
- Assignments, Exams and Tests: to be determined by course instructor
- Attendance Policy: Course Attendance at First Class Meeting – Policy for Graduate Students: For structured courses, 6000 and above, the College/Campus Dean will set the first-day class attendance requirement.

This policy is not applicable to courses in the following categories: Educational Outreach, Open University (TV), FEEDS Program, Community Experiential Learning (CEL), Cooperative Education Training, and courses that do not have regularly scheduled meeting days/times (such as, directed reading/research or study, individual research, thesis, dissertation, internship, practica, etc.).
