A New Social Venture Creation Course
There is a new Social Venture Creation Course from the University of Michigan Center for Entrepreneurship. The new Social Venture Creation Course, in partnership with the Center for Entrepreneurship at the College of Engineering, the School of Art & Design, and the William Davidson Institute, is an innovative, action-based learning laboratory that brings students across disciplines at the University of Michigan to work on solving society’s challenges – together.
In this course, students will form multidisciplinary teams and take steps to launch a social venture. By the end of this course, student teams will submit an implementation plan and make a presentation on a social venture idea to a panel of industry experts and potential funders. The hope is that some of these multidisciplinary student teams will be able to launch a social venture upon completing the course – and make real, long-lasting impact. After taking this course, student teams will be able to assess the opportunity for a particular device, product or service in a community and the feasibility of starting a social venture around it. The course will use cases, readings, videos, lectures, group projects, and group discussions to help students understand the social entrepreneurship movement, the building blocks for starting a social venture, assessing and enhancing a social venture’s impact, raising capital, and scaling-up a social venture.
Open to all undergraduate and graduate students.
