  • SVENT 325 is a continuation and expansion of SVENT 225. SVENT 325 emphasizes more independent learning than traditional classrooms where students will work with the instructor , Brendan Wylie-Toal to determine an appropriate course syllabus and develop goals that are relevant to Social Entrepreneurship as well as your overall goals in your career and life. SVENT 325 allowed me to allocate time to my social venture and learn a great deal about startups, as well as the opportunity to craft, develop, refine, and achieve the syllabus we created. Just like SVENT 225, this course is not easy, however with the appropriate time investment and completion of assignments, you will have no problem…
