ENTREPRENEURSHIP SCHOLARS

Open to students of all majors, the new Entrepreneurship Scholars program provides students with a vital experiential opportunity to explore entrepreneurship and begin building a foundation of the practical skills essential to planning and launching a venture. In the spirit of the Creativity and Leadership Project it will provide students with a global, practical, and socially responsible perspective on entrepreneurship.

The program is structured similarly to the successful Business Scholars program. Students will engage in discussions, lectures, shadowing, and on-site visits with Oberlin alumni and friends of the College. There will also be several training days during which students will learn about different practical aspects of running and launching a venture.

As a result of the program, students will:
Clarify focus through greater understanding of the skills and challenges involved in planning and launching an endeavor;
Acquire entrepreneurship-related skills and knowledge through case analysis, teamwork and presentation skills, and exposure to basic financial and organizational knowledge for entrepreneurs;
Learn more about their field of interest through targeted shadowing opportunities;
Become familiarized with Oberlin’s resources including funding, support, and an extensive network of alumni and friends.
