Social Entrepreneurship
Social Entrepreneurship in the Liberal Arts
What are the goals of the liberal arts? What is social entrepreneurship? In this challenging new century, can these two ideals be complements or are they at odds? In this course we will first examine the two-and-a-half millennium history of the liberal arts, asking how ideals rooted in the classical Greek tradition still have meaning in the 21st Century. We will then study the recent history of social entrepreneurship, in theory and in practice. Students will conduct their own research with assistance from the Center for Social Entrepreneurship. (Approval Required; Pass/Fail)
