"Life begins at 22:  Preparing students for successful careers after college"

Dr. Douglas Arion

Hedberg Distinguished Prof. of Entrepreneurial Studies
Carthage College

The Carthage ScienceWorks - Entrepreneurial Studies Program has, for the last twelve years, prepared students in the sciences for the rigors of their professional careers.  Combining core coursework, business development and business plan projects; this program brings students the knowledge, attitudes, and skills necessary for success.   Carthage has developed partnerships with regional business development organizations, including the Center for Advanced Technology and Innovation, the National Collegiate Innovators and Inventors Alliance, and the Kern Entrepreneurial Education Network, to provide the kinds of real-world experiences that students need.   This presentation will provide an overview of the program, and suggest ways that these core skills can be brought to students in many disciplines across the campus.
