Enroll in one or more entrepreneurship-related mini courses during the spring semester! These 1-credit courses allow you to dive deeper into a specific, applicable topic. This spring, you have the opportunity to design your life and build a startup in 48 hours. See below for more information about next semester's opportunities for mini/pop-up courses.
Design your life and explore your purpose with Dr. Andrew Hanna and Mike Smith, founder of The Bay, by enrolling in "Applied Design Thinking: A Human-Centered Approach to Designing Your Life" (MNGT 398-951). On Saturdays from February 8 to March 1, you will use the entrepreneurial skillset of “design thinking” to address a problem of the utmost importance: the inability to design your life and career. This class offers a framework, tools and a community of peers and mentors where you’ll address this problem through assigned readings, reflections and exercises. The final deliverable will be the creation of an “Odyssey Plan” focusing on taking action in the 3-5 years following graduation from the university. Enroll via MyRed. Open to all students at the University of Nebraska–Lincoln.
The 48-Hour Challenge (ENTR 325) from February 20-22 gives you the opportunity to experience the highs, lows, fun and pressure of developing a business idea and working in a startup environment. Whether participating for credit or not, all students at Nebraska are welcome to bring a business idea – no matter how developed it is – and form teams to develop early-stage ideas in this immersive experience. Participants have the option to enroll and receive one credit, or participate for free.
