Winter 2015 topic:

BUS 195: Foundations of Management and Entrepreneurship (3). Open only to students without a declared business administration major or who have not taken a 200-level business administration course. This introduction to the business world is intended to give both undeclared and non-business majors a sense for how a business operates by building one from scratch. Various Williams School faculty members teach the ins and outs of entrepreneurship, marketing, accounting, leadership, information systems, and finance, while emphasizing the integrated role these functions have in a business. In the future, this course will be a prerequisite for non-business majors wanting to take either BUS 381: Social Entrepreneurship or BUS 383: Technology and Entrepreneurship. Staff. Winter 2015
