Spring Semester
Spring Semester: Experiencing Entrepreneurship
This program is a hands-on, one of a kind experience in the challenges of entrepreneurship as well as the special opportunities present in emerging markets. Working in teams, students start their own small business in Cape Town using real seed capital, where they are given the opportunity to experiment and take risks – within a safe environment.
Students are required to take the specially designed core course, Experiencing Entrepreneurship, as well as two additional courses: Business in Context, which addresses the triple bottom line issues of planet, people, and profit, and Entrepreneurial Strategies, where students learn the principles of strategic management within an African context.
