Part of the program involves Management 400 – Entrepreneurship taught by Dr. Jake Messersmith.
MGT 400 – Entrepreneurship – 3 hours
This course explores the phenomena of entrepreneurship, including the myths, realities, and impact of entrepreneurial activity. Students assess their own entrepreneurial aptitude and interests, meet a variety of entrepreneurs, and investigate the processes of generating promising ideas, evaluating the viability of those ideas, finding capital, considering franchise opportunities, and developing a new venture management team. The class is project oriented with each student participating in the development of a feasibility plan for a new venture.

Jesse Konz, a former student of yours and employee of ours spoke highly of your class on Entrepreneurship last year.
When I graduated from KSC in 1975, I searched unsuccessfully for a college that I could work on a Masters Degree in Small Business.
I would like to visit your class to observe, check out what are the current “best practices.
