Abstract

Entrepreneurship across the curriculum, or cross-disciplinary entrepreneurship, answers the call for more practical applications of education to meet the workforce challenges of the twenty-first century and beyond. While entrepreneurship has applicability to every discipline—even Library Science has a national Entrepreneurship Conference now (See http://entrelib.org ) and a cross-disciplinary course (see chapter 3 ENT/GEO/LIS 530: Researching Entrepreneurship & Economic Development Opportunities), the unique beauty is the blending of entrepreneurship with the discipline. The rich content of the humanities, sciences, music, and art can be learned while also introducing students to ways of applying innovation and entrepreneurship to the discipline of their choice, and the wide array of career choices and options entrepreneurship opens up. Some will choose to be self-employed, others will start their businesses on the side while working full time for an employer. Some will decide to be corporate entrepreneurs and add to the innovation and entrepreneurship in an existing firm. Some will support those who start and grow businesses. Whatever the choices these graduates make, their lives will be more enriched with entrepreneurship skills that will carry them through these changes and they will be equipped to adjust to the next round of changes in our global economy as I discussed in chapter 1.
