[GEOG MAJORS] Spring Quarter Business Course Open to All Students

[Nell Gross via geogu-l]

ENTRE 490: Small Business Entrepreneurship, offered in spring quarter, is open to all undergraduate students, beginning Period 2.  The course has received very positive reviews from students and would provide relevant content across many disciplines.

About the Course:
Are you planning to start your own lifestyle business, help grow a family business, become a business owner as a healthcare or legal professional, or launch any type of business that allows you to be your own boss?  If so, you will walk away from this class with a broad understanding of how to strategically plan, form, operate, and build a successful small business in the real world.  While Venture Capital and IPOs are hot topics among the entrepreneurial community, the reality is fewer than one percent of startups are funded by VCs and most companies never go public.  Instead, the vast majority of new companies rely on founder capital for initial growth and remain privately owned and operated.  This course is designed to offer unique insights into the challenges and opportunities that face bootstrapped small businesses throughout their growth journey.

About the Instructor:
Josh Heckathorn is a serial entrepreneur.  He holds a B.S. in Management from Brigham Young University's Marriott School of Business and received an MBA from Seattle University.

Warmly,
Sarah
