Social Entrepreneurship Scholars
The Honors College and Gatton College’s Social Entrepreneurship Scholars Program formed a formal partnership in 2014. This partnership helps to streamline the application process, recruitment initiatives, and curricular interests for students within Gatton College by allowing students to select a customized Social Entrepreneurship Scholars Program option, within the larger Honors context. In this way, students will still be fulfilling their Honors requirements.
This development for the Honors College is another step to better collaborate with scholarly programs on campus. This initiative will also further the mission of the Gatton College by expanding scholarship opportunities and facilitating a growing network of learners within the community.
The Honors College and the Social Entrepreneurship Scholars Program strive to accommodate the needs of the students and help them reach their fullest potential in a convenient and seamless way. The primary goal of this partnership is to continue to serve the best and brightest students across campus.
Curriculum
Partnering with Gatton College allows Honors students completing the Social Entrepreneurship Scholars Program to pursue a curriculum option with a focus on Marketing, Management and Entrepreneurship. These particular areas of focus can be developed to assist students in pursuing careers within the non-profit business sector, international entrepreneurship, or any other field of work that involves being an agent of change within a given community.
Both Honors and the Social Entrepreneurship programs working together results in more diverse curriculum options, more courses to choose from, and students can seamlessly transitioning through both programs.
Like a traditional Honors seminar class, Social Entrepreneurship seminar courses also have small class sizes and lively class discussions to enhance the learning process.
