Overview

The Social Entrepreneurship programme from Roosevelt University is designed for students interested applying a social justice lens to the business community. The core BSBA program provides a strong foundation for any student looking to become a successful business leader and create social change.

Students learn to make innovative and conscientious solutions to a range of problems like poverty, education and health care. These methods allow social entrepreneurs to develop and implement pattern-breaking solutions for previously intractable social problems in ways that are sustainable and have a long-term orientation.

Roosevelt students are working firsthand on social entrepreneurial projects that scale deep in our city.

Urban social entrepreneurship is about scaling deep, creating an organization to solve one problem and then using that platform to create new solutions for a holistic approach to resolve structural poverty.

Urban social entrepreneurship is both aspirational and innovative and needs imaginative, long-term responses to alleviate poverty and other social issues.
