• IDSC 121 Entrepreneurship and the Liberal Arts 1 credits

  Careers in entrepreneurship naturally connect to a liberal arts education in at least two ways. First, whether for-profit or social, startup ventures arise as solutions to complex problems. By focusing on alternate ways of thinking, the liberal arts prepare students to generate new solutions to problems of all sorts. Second, the work of the entrepreneur transcends disciplinary boundaries. In any given day, the needs of a business may involve the science of product development, political science of regulation, psychology of brand definition, economics of pricing, and more. Through conversations with Carleton alumni and parent entrepreneurs, this class explores the connection between a liberal arts education and work developing startup enterprises.
