The courses listed below and described in this section of the catalog constitute the curriculum of Neumann University. Each course description is preceded by a content area abbreviation and numeric designation, e.g., ENG 103 , along with the course title and the number of credits assigned for the course. Specific enrollment directives, e.g., prerequisites, corequisites, or special permissions, apply to students of all levels and programs.
Only those courses which are numbered at the 100 level or above are applicable toward a degree at Neumann University. Uniform numbers are used for additional experiences which are available in major discipline areas. These courses or experiences are provided for individuals or groups of students as deemed appropriate. For the most part, all Core courses are assigned in the 100 and 200 levels. Exceptions to these Core numeric designations are determined by the appropriate Division Dean. Special topics in specific disciplines are listed under the numbers 126/226/326/426. Independent Study Projects (ISPs) are listed as 480; major seminars as 460; Internships experiences use numbers from 394–396 and 494–496.
Practica/Rotations are supervised practice-setting learning experiences which are an intrinsic part of a student’s major program of study, i.e., required for satisfactory completion of the course and academic program.
The School Deans of Neumann University have established minimum and maximum class sizes for each course offered in any given semester. Neumann University reserves the right to cancel or postpone any course or related activity because of insufficient enrollment or other unforeseen circumstances. For availability of courses, refer to either the Neumann University web site (www.neumann.edu) or contact the Office of the Registrar.

BUS 132 Introduction to Entrepreneurship 3 Credits
In the past, as with great leaders, Autry (2022) tells us, “…it was assumed that great entrepreneurs were born, that the entrepreneurial process itself was intuitive, mysterious…unknowable” (p.11). We know today that this is not the case. The entrepreneurial mindset can be acquired. In this introductory class to the Entrepreneurship minor, we explore entrepreneurship from all directions. We discuss and delve into the creative process and begin to understand how unleashing our creativity can lead to innovation and invention. We also explore the more tactical aspects of entrepreneurship: building effective networks, resource planning, & business plan development. Also covered in this introductory course is the concept of principled entrepreneurship, defined by Widmer (2020) as maximizing, “the long-term profitability of business by creating superior value for customers while consuming fewer resources and always acting lawfully and with integrity.” (p.xi).
This class explores the art and the science of the entrepreneurial mindset. How do entrepreneurs think and act? How do they detect patterns? How do they recover from mistakes? How do they learn to challenge the accepted wisdom and ask the provocative questions to find new ways to solve problems, to champion innovation, to develop new products?
Entrepreneurs and Intrapreneurs (entrepreneurs who work inside organizations) are needed now more than ever. The world of work in the 21st Century will be a very different place than before. The rules of work are being rewritten as we speak and those with an entrepreneurial mindset will be able to navigate this changing landscape with confidence and enthusiasm.
