CSC reaching out to aspiring entrepreneurs
In Chadron State College’s renewed effort to help communities of the Great Plains survive and thrive, the institution’s business department has revamped one of its programs.
College officials have accentuated the marketing option of the business degree to appeal to prospective entrepreneurs. The courses of the newly formed “Marketing/Entrepreneurship” option will be launched this fall.
Dr. Tim Donahue, Chadron State business professor, said the new courses will be of benefit to anyone wanting to start a business or interested in learning more about entrepreneurship. Although the new courses are designed for upper grades, Donahue said motivated non-degree seeking students will also find success.
“Our eight-week format, offered either online or face-to-face, is perfect for adult learners who want to get in and get it done,” he said. “The courses are even offered in the evenings to accommodate most work schedules.”
Three courses are being offered for entrepreneurship: Entre-Business Start Up, Entre-Imagination & Opportunity, and Promotion & Advertising.
The revamped program is just one step Chadron State has taken in the past year to aid the region’s economic development efforts. In addition, CSC has become active in HomeTown Competitiveness and is home to Chadron’s Nebraska Business Development Center office.
On Wednesday and Thursday, July 18-19, the college is hosting the state meeting of NBDC officials from the organization’s seven sites.
Those interested in the entrepreneurship courses may call the CSC Admissions Office at 1-800-CHADRON, or contact Donahue by phone, (308) 432-6279, or e-mail, tdonahue@csc.edu.
