Course Title: THE ENTREPRENEURIAL MIND
Time: MWF (01:00 – 02:00 PM)
Units: 3
Course Description: When it comes to entrepreneurship education and training, there is no
precise formula that guarantees success. Yet there is a common thread—that a mindset guides
the decisions enabling entrepreneurs to succeed. For the purposes of this course, the term
“entrepreneurial mindset” is defined as the underlying beliefs and assumptions that drive the
behavior enabling entrepreneurs to succeed. This course also takes the approach that anyone
(not just those who want to start businesses or enterprises) can benefit from understanding
and applying an entrepreneurial mindset to any situation that demands change in their life. This
course is designed to immerse you in learning about the fundamental aspects of an
entrepreneurial mindset and the unlimited opportunities it can provide (The Entrepreneurial
Learning Initiative, 2011). You then will take that knowledge and apply it to the creation,
implementation and evaluation of a self - directed project with a topic of your choosing.
Course Objectives At the completion of this course, you will be able to:
Use critical thinking skills to identify and evaluate entrepreneurial opportunities,
manage risks and learn from the results of evaluating that process.
Understand the process that enables entrepreneurs with limited resources to transform
a simple idea into a sustainable success.
Understand and apply fundamental aspects of entrepreneurial thinking across
disciplines and as a means of personal development.
Establish goals, identify resources and determine the steps required to address those
goals.
Use critical inquiry skills to identify, interview and generally build relationships with local
innovators, entrepreneurs and other community leaders.
