You will engage in the process of entrepreneurship to earn experiential learning credits. The required three credits of experiential learning can be earned by either taking a course that has been designated as an experiential learning course or using some other experiential learning activity as the basis to receive credits through a graded independent study. Option 1 and Option 2 are explained in more detail below:
Option 1:
Some courses on the Entrepreneurship Minor Electives list provide for experiential learning credits. No additional approval is needed if the “Experiential Content” column says only “Yes.” If the column states “Yes, requires prior approval,” then follow the instructions for Option 2 below.
Option 2:
You may earn three credits of experiential learning through an independent study. The independent study may be based on an internship, co-op, starting a business, running a business, writing a business plan, or other reasonable entrepreneurship experience. Note that corresponding independent study courses are listed on the Entrepreneurship Minor Electives list in your respective college. If the experiential content columns state “Yes, requires prior approval,” then approval must be obtained before registering for the independent study and will be based on the extent to which the nature and scope of the independent study specifically relate to entrepreneurial processes. To seek approval, you must identify a faculty member willing to supervise the study and complete the entrepreneurship independent study form (choose the link below for your home college). Follow the directions on the form for obtaining approval and registering for independent study credits. If you choose this option, you will list the corresponding college course number for your independent study on the “Request for minor” form.
