CHANGE FROM:
OR Select: (8 credits)
MGNT 250-385 Managing the Small Business (3cr)
and . . .
CHANGE TO:
OR Select: (8 credits)
MGNT 250-387 Entepreneurship (3cr)
and . . .
"Managing the Small Business" (250-385) has been the principal required course for students wishing to pursue the "For-Profit" mini-track within the Arts
Management Minor. It is our understanding that, while the Management Department has not eliminated this course, they have chosen to suspend offering it, instead offering "Entepreneurship" (250-387) on a regular basis. Since the Arts Management Minor students need required courses which are offered regularly, it seems best to change the required course as designated above.
Relationship to mission and strategic plan of institution, and/or
College/Department goals and objectives
"Entepreneurship," is an excellent alternative that will allow the
"For-Profit" mini-track within this minor to remain a legitimate option
for students. Thus, the Minor—and this mini-track in particular—will remain
part of the University’s "extensive range of undergraduate programs and
degrees . . .in the arts" by providing valuable training for students participating
in this mini-track.
Rationale
The change is chiefly a response to a problem of "mechanics" which
has arisen because of the decision to not offer "Managing the Small Business"
on a regular basis. "Entepreneurship" will be offered regularly, and will
thus be a more suitable requirement for students choosing the "For-Profit"
mini-track.
Cost implications
No new costs should be associated with replacing one required course
with another.
