  • SO 320: Immigrant Entrepreneurship

    3.00 Credits
    Bentley University

    Prerequisite(s): PS 132 or SO 132 Immigrants come in search of the economic opportunity and financial security not available in their own homeland. Drawn by the lure of jobs, immigrants frequently set course for industrialized countries where the demand for labor is high. However, once arriving to these countries, many immigrant groups reject the available jobs and strike their own path by entering into entrepreneurship by opening their own businesses. In the United States, this pattern has played out countless times, as new groups arrive and take the mantle of immigrant entrepreneurship previously held by past groups. This course will examine the phenomena of immigrant entrepreneurship, taking account of past examples as well as current trends. By studying immigrant entrepreneurship, the student will achieve a better understanding of what drives certain immigrant groups to chance everything by opening up their own businesses, and how immigrants are able to use the resources available to them to become successful.
