Course Details

In Grand Challenges for Entrepreneurs, students use the lens of entrepreneurship to explore big problems and opportunities facing society, ranging from healthcare and education to climate change and poverty. You will learn how solutions to these massive challenges can be researched, validated, and implemented using such entrepreneurial tools and frameworks such as design thinking, opportunity recognition, business models, hypothesis testing and pivoting.

Honors students will engage in taking their project to the next level, via a mechanism that they choose (e.g. addressing a grand challenge through volunteering with an organization, creating a fundraising effort, or a social media campaign, etc.). A write up and a reflection will be part of this additional component for Honors, distinguishing it from the coursework ENTRE 490 students will do.
