| Abstract: |
This study examined the business curriculum offered by schools in the third largest community college system in the nation. The objective was to determine the degree that entrepreneurial-oriented curricula meet the needs of young people interested in starting their own business. By analyzing the business curriculum of community colleges throughout the state of Illinois, the study provides an unbiased evaluation of the course offerings. A comparison of rural/urban disparities was also conducted. |
