As recently as the 1990s, that was far from true. Over the past decade or so, however, the university teaching of entrepreneurship has come of age.  \nHistory in brief  \nThe idea of teaching entrepreneurship is not new. Longtime observers trace it back to 1947, when Harvard University is said to have offered a course in “new enterprises” for returning veterans. The field entered its start-up phase, soto speak, in the 1970s, began developing standardized curricular elements in the 1980s, and in the 1990s entered a period of rapid growth that has continued to this day.  \nEntrepreneurship, a Kauffman Foundation research report found in 2008,“is one of the fastest growing subjects in today’s undergraduate curricula.”1 In 1975, colleges and universities in the United States offered a hundred or so formal programs (majors, minors, and certificates) in entrepreneurship. The number had more than quadrupled by 2006, reaching more than 500.2 The number of entrepreneurship courses offered follows a similar trajectory; studies suggest that college campuses in the United States offered approximately 250 entrepreneurship courses in 1985. By 2008, more than 5,000 entrepreneurship courses were being offered in two-year and four-year institutions.3 Today, well over 400,000 students a year take courses in the subject, and almost 9,000 faculty members teach it.4 Meanwhile, universities have become correspondingly important to the nation’s start-up infrastructure, as central in the training of new generations of entrepreneurs as they were in training earlier generations of professionals. Of the 1,250 or so business incubators in the United States, about one-third are based at universities, up from one-fifth in 2006.5  \nIn short, entrepreneurship education’s days as an upstart, or a startup, are over. The teaching of entrepreneurship has moved from the margins of higher education closer to the mainstream. Metaphorically speaking, it has reached early adulthood, firmly established but still developing rapidly. A number of developments conspired to change the game for entrepreneurship education. One was the rise of the dot-com economy in the 1990s, which brought a rush of new capital and energy to the world of technology startups. At least as important, the dot-com era and the rapid expansion of the information economy opened new pathways for those to whom a payroll job at a bureaucratic corporation seemed unappealing or unattainable, while heightening young people’s interest in independent and unconventional careers.  \nThe recent economic downturn only encouraged this perspective. Many young people saw their parents being laid off and their peers having trouble launching traditional careers. Partly out of necessity, today’s students increasingly look to their own talents and “personal brands,” not to corporate paychecks, as the basis for a sturdy future.  \nConventional employment no longer looks as secure as it once did, nor entrepreneurship as comparatively risky. Among young people, the word has gone out that t","cbCaim7kilz1iCIZ","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaim7kilz1iCIZ","pdf",1442447,28,"English","# Contents\n## Introduction\n## Education as Ecosystem\n## Defining the Constituency\n## Balancing the Curriculum\n## Creating a Campus Culture\n## Melding with the Community\n## Measuring Success\n## A New Dynamism\n## Appendix 1: List of Participants/Contributors","[{\"question\":\"What is the main focus of this paper on entrepreneurship education?\",\"answer\":\"It examines how entrepreneurship education has matured within American higher education, highlighting the challenges and rewards of bringing entrepreneurship to university campuses.\"},{\"question\":\"How did entrepreneurship education grow in the United States over time?\",\"answer\":\"The report traces growth from early teaching ideas around the 1940s through a start-up phase in the 1970s, standardized curricular development in the 1980s, and rapid expansion in the 1990s and beyond, including large increases in programs and courses.\"},{\"question\":\"What methodology did the Kauffman Foundation use for this paper?\",\"answer\":\"As part of the Kauffman Campus Initiative’s conclusion, the Foundation gathered views through academic and administrator input from sixteen institutions with notable entrepreneurship education programs, supplemented by written submissions and sessions during a day of meetings.\"}]","Entrepreneurship Education - Comes of Age on Campus - The challenges and rewards of bringing entrepreneurship to higher education | PDF",1792047937,71]
