| What is ESNS? |
The Entrepreneurial Studies in the Natural Sciences (ESNS) Program is a unique offering at
Carthage. The program provides you with the opportunity to develop skills and
opportunities in the business and professional world. It is a complement to your liberal
arts studies.
The ESNS Program is based on a one-year course sequence normally taken during your junior
year, covering all of the aspects of technology business. The summer following the junior
year is devoted to a hands-on internship experience, while your senior year includes a
detailed technology business project. This mixture of project work, hands-on experience,
and preparatory course work provides you the best training, gives you the best preparation
before entering a career, and results in a product that you can use to show your
capabilities. All of these improve your likelihood of successfully obtaining a job and
improve your chances for advancement after graduation.
The course work emphasizes integration of important skills, such as written and oral
communication, graphics and artwork, business accounting, management, and marketing, with
the important aspects of legal issues, regulation, and intellectual property. In addition
the course covers the characteristics of all types of technology businesses. The courses
are taught by many different Carthage faculty, and include outside speakers from many
specialty areas, including local and national business leaders. |
