MGT 472 Venture Creation

To Rising JMU Seniors of All Majors: Explore your entrepreneurial dreams! The JMU College of Business is offering a unique course, MGT 472 Venture Creation, which focuses on the launch of a new business and the first five years of formation. Bring your entrepreneurial instincts and your expertise to a high performance venture team to create a viable business that can be financed and launched after graduation. You will collaborate with peers across the university, experienced entrepreneurs, and business professionals.

"We encourage students to take the course. We would allow individuals to petition the HTM faculty for the class to be considered a substitute for an HTM elective on a case by case basis." - Brett W. Horton.

"Students drive the business idea. About 50 percent of the students arrive to class with ideas. We research and screen ideas based on feasibility and end up with about 5-6 projects assigned to 4-member teams. If the HTM student becomes the idea champion, then there is no reason we can't have an HTM project. In fact, I would love to have one." - Carol W. Hamilton.

Course Details: 

Fall 2009, Tuesday/Thursday, 5 – 6:15 p.m., Zane Showker Hall.
Class size is limited.
