In this seminar, students embark on a creative journey to conceptualize an innovative business idea related to a field within the College of Agriculture, Forestry and Life Sciences (CAFLS). They identify a compelling new product or service for which they develop a business and marketing plan, and prepare a competitive pitch for funding to support the continued development of the idea. Activities include building a product prototype, creating marketing materials, performing the idea at a trial scale, etc. Students learn what it takes to initiate a business idea and how to effectively communicate their vision to others. May be repeated for a maximum of four credits.
