In this course, students will develop an understanding of the context and domain of social enterprise, learn about the opportunities and challenges of building a social enterprise, learn about how social entrepreneurs create innovative business models in response to social issues like hunger, poverty, inner city education, and global warming, and build a foundation to help prepare personally and professionally for meaningful employment by reflecting on the issues addressed by social enterprises.
