This course consists of an internship with Temple University’s Small Business Development Center working with a startup business, high-growth business, or family business (100 hours in total). Students are encouraged to select an industry or economic sector on which to focus their consulting work in an effort to facilitate the refinement of the feasibility study written in SGM 3501 and the writing of the business plan in SGM 4596. Note: Students must contact Chris Pavlides at pavlides@temple.edu upon registering for SGM 3585 to arrange for the internship.
SGM 3503 can substitute for SGM 3585 for Entrepreneurship majors and minors (no internship is required for 3503.)
Either SGM 3585 or 3503 is a prerequisite for SGM 3685 and SGM 4596, the capstone course for Entrepreneurship majors and minors. SGM 4596 is offered only in the spring.
