Credits: 3

Prerequisite: Prerequisites: Senior standing and completion of 6 credits of Entrepreneurship electives and 6 credit of Business electives designated for the minor. This capstone course, specifically for Entrepreneurship Minors, is designed to expose students to a strategic perspective on business challenges in the context of entrepreneurial firms. Integrating concepts and analytical tools from functional disciplines (e.g., finance, marketing, accounting) in the diagnosis, analysis, and resolution of complex business situations, students develop the knowledge, skills, and abilities necessary to excel in new ventures or in today’s increasingly entrepreneurial corporate environments. Among other activities, students learn from case studies, class discussions, and working together to develop and present a business plan. Students also have the opportunity to explore their own business startup ideas through writing a comprehensive business plan. Students participating in this course must participate in W&L’s Business Plan Competition.
