INNOV 4990 Capstone

This is a course taken as part of the signature work (INNOV-4980:Final Project) done by students at the end of their degree program. Students will acquire fundamental knowledge and skills to establish a business, create a prototype, and/or disrupt an industry.   This knowledge will include both industry specific knowledge as well as hot to identify necessary financial, legal, and human resources to get their idea off the ground. Throughout this semester-long process, students will be paired with a hand selected group of experts, specific to the industry selected by the student, to mentor and guide them through their endeavor.  Students will connect their previous learning in the Archway Curriculum, both in their liberal arts and Innovation and Entrepreneurship major, with the Final Project. They will engage in discourse with other students about their work and prepare for the next stage of their career. No Pass/Fail. Prerequisite: Senior standing and permission of the program chair. Corequisite: INNOV-4980.
