Founding start-ups — innovating from within — developing non profits: What is the path for the idea you are passionate about?
Entrepreneurs are at their best when they are working toward a solution that they are passionate about. The McGuire Center values entrepreneurship for its contributions to society, economic health, and community development — and works to create places where students can share the classroom and teaching resources to pursue self selected ventures they find compelling, whether that means biotech or the arts, a start up or a new market for a firm’s existing IP.
This is an approach that works within the McGuire Center, and at The University of Arizona, beyond the Center.
Entrepreneurship Curriculum Principles
Entrepreneurship curriculum principles are embedded throughout entrepreneurship teaching offerings:
- Generate ideas
- Identify opportunities
- Identify key values and assess
- Innovate
- Plan and organize
- Operate individually and in teams
- Strategize
- Mitigate risk
- Move innovative ideas to reality
No matter your field of study or ultimate goal for your entrepreneurship education, these programs will prepare you to apply the principles in any setting, and to act when inspiration, opportunity, or need strikes.
