Social Innovation & Social Entrepreneurship Minor

The Social Innovation and Social Entrepreneurship (SISE) minor is a 15-credit interdisciplinary minor for undergraduate students from across the campus. The SISE minor provides students with skills to create a more just and equitable society. Grounded in principles of equity, diversity, and inclusion, the minor’s core competencies revolve around four areas: social innovation, social value creation, systems thinking, and design-thinking/human-centered design. Students in the minor develop an understanding of complex problems while developing a toolkit to create positive social and environmental change.

The SISE Minor and “Taylor Your Life” courses have been developed in partnership with the Phyllis M. Taylor Center for Social Innovation and Design Thinking. Students are encouraged to utilize opportunities and resources provided through the Taylor Center.
