In response to the growing importance of entrepreneurial skills, we’ve made improvements to the High School of Business (HSB) senior-year courses. Students now have more time to operate their own class business and therefore go deeper into entrepreneurship content via hands-on learning. The change also means more college credit opportunities for HSB students since the first semester course, Principles of Management, is now more closely aligned with similar post-secondary courses. At present, students who complete the HSB program earn an average of 9 college credits via local and national credit agreements.
During second semester, HSB seniors open a class business and run it for a full 7 weeks. The first-semester course incorporates planning for the business, allowing students to get off to a fast start second semester as they actualize their business.
MBA Research updates all High School of Business course guides each year to ensure fresh, engaging content. Changes are identified via research with business & industry and educators.
