The heart of entrepreneurship is learning not merely to survive but to flourish in a world of change. The joint Stern/Wagner minor in Social Entrepreneurship gives you the preparation you need to flourish in our rapidly changing world while focusing your energy on some of the most pressing social and environmental issues of our time. You can choose from a selection of rigorous course offerings from both schools, to learn the basics of entrepreneurship from both a theoretical and practical point of view and in the context of both for-profit and nonprofit enterprises. The courses prioritize experiential learning, presenting real-world problems to which you must design your own real-world solutions.

Minor Policies
Credit toward the minors is not given for courses completed with a grade of less than C, or for courses taken on a pass/fail basis.
Students can count one course in a minor towards the requirements of another major or minor. Students intending to double count any courses would also need to contact the other major or minor’s department to ask if, and to what extent, that department permits overlapping courses.
Students can count up to 4 transfer credits (equivalent to one course) to the minor as long as it is approved as an equivalent to a listed minor course.
Students who have declared interdisciplinary minors in partnership with the Robert F. Wagner Graduate School of Public Service follow the academic policies set forth by the home school.
