This five-course interdisciplinary Minor in Social Innovation and Entrepreneurship is administered by the D’Amore-McKim School of Business through its Entrepreneurship and Innovation Group in collaboration with the College of Social Sciences and Humanities (CSSH).
The minor consists of four on-campus courses and one course from a two-course Dialogue of Civilizations program. The minor is open to business and nonbusiness students. Several of the courses included in this minor may also apply to other programs or individual course requirements. Because this minor is interdisciplinary, a student may apply only three courses from any one college toward completion of the minor.
Finally, note that business students can pursue this minor or alternatively choose to pursue the Social Innovation and Entrepreneurship concentration, which requires courses in social entrepreneurship and does not require a Dialogue.
Complete all courses listed below unless otherwise indicated. Also complete any corequisite labs, recitations, clinicals, or tools courses where specified.
Note: No more than three courses may be taken from any one college.
