Social Entrepreneurship Minor
The heart of entrepreneurship is learning not merely to survive but to flourish in a world of change. The joint Stern/Wagner minor in Social Entrepreneurship gives you the preparation you need to flourish in our rapidly changing world while focusing your energy on some of the most pressing social and environmental issues of our time. You can choose from a selection of rigorous course offerings from both schools, to learn the basics of entrepreneurship from both a theoretical and practical point of view and in the context of both for-profit and nonprofit enterprises. The courses prioritize experiential learning, presenting real-world problems to which you must design your own real-world solutions.
Minor Declaration
You can apply for the minor in NYU Albert in the My Academics section of your Student Center. The minor is found under Leonard N. Stern School of Business.
Curriculum
All students must complete a minimum of four courses to satisfy the inter-school minor requirements: an introductory course, a practicum course, and at least two additional courses (one from each school).
