Changes

Currently, Prairie View has an Innovation and Entrepreneurship course. However, the class is offered by the college of business and the majority of students who register for the class are business majors. Prairie View should offer a course that allows students to learn about innovation, design thinking, and entrepreneurship that is open to all disciplines. This will allow students to learn how to approach various problems from various viewpoints and as a result there will be more creative thinking because of the interdisciplinary collaboration. Also, the course will allow the students to network with students from other majors and collaborate have a resource for outside projects.

This will give students outside of the business department an opportunity to learn about innovation and entrepreneurship. The course will also help students to see approaches and thought processes of students from different majors. As a result, this will help foster ideas and create innovation teams with various disciplines using the knowledge and resources from their particular fields to help the teams be more successful.
