INTRODUCTION This course explores introductory business concepts and practical techniques for starting a small business. It is designed for students interested in owning their own business and/or those with a current business idea. Students will be required to select a business venture to research and a feasibility study (or the optional, more involved business plan) will be required for successful completion of the course. This course is intended as an introduction to courses 130:170 and 130:172. Sophomore standing is required. This course is a university undergraduate two-hour elective and is open to all majors.
CLASS INFORMATION
I have chosen as the course textbook and workbook, materials from the Ewing Marion Kauffman Foundation's FastTrac® program. These materials were developed by a college professor at the University of Missouri among others and present much of the information needed for a student to start and run a small business. We will supplement these materials with others developed by the John Pappajohn Entrepreneurial Center at the University of Northern Iowa. You will find the tentative course syllabus link on the upper left of this page. This is also the page where you will find the link to your grades and where information pertaining to the course will be posted.
FastTrac® is a program of the Kauffman Foundation of Kansas City. FastTrac strives to connect entrepreneurs to the best resources available to help their businesses succeed. FastTrac accomplishes this through a series of educational experiences, products, and services.
The Ewing Marion Kauffman Foundation of Kansas City works with partners to advance entrepreneurship in America and improve the education of children and youth. The Kauffman Foundation was established in the mid-1960s by the late entrepreneur and philanthropist Ewing Marion Kauffman. Information about the Kauffman Foundation is available at www.kauffman.org.
