A study of starting, and/or working in, an entrepreneurial organization to meet a social need whether globally or in the United States.

Social enterprises in Massachusetts as well as globally are considered and analyzed as case studies. Guest speakers with social entrepreneur experience locally and, perhaps globally give guest lectures to help develop student understanding on the national and global social entrepreneur issues. Students explore the connection of social enterprises to Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) programs. Projects and business plans will be developed by students as part of the assessment.
