Read from the departments' own calendar pages, where 50 of 208 programs are only partly machine-readable, so treat these as a minimum rather than the full list. Confirm with an academic advisor.

Description

With their multiple bottom lines (financial, social and environmental) and ultimate goal of bettering society, social enterprises are playing an increasingly important role in the current economy. This course is designed to examine the role of social enterprises, to identify and assess their different types, to explore management issues unique to social enterprises, and to measure their impacts. Students also critically analyze examples of social enterprises in Canada and elsewhere.
