The Minor in Creativity and Ethical Venturing (CEV) integrates the imaginative and creative thinking of the humanities and the applied know-how and skills of business management to empower students to envision ways to make a positive impact and realize their ideas as ventures; that is, as not-for-profit organizations and ethical for-profit businesses. To this end, students will engage in innovative coursework and a number of collaborative experiential learning activities, including InnovationChallenge New York, Mohawk Valley Mini Maker Faire, and the New York State Collegiate Business Plan Competition.<\/p>\n
The CEV minor will be of particular interest to students in any major who seek to develop their critical thinking and creative problem-solving abilities, their collaborative skills, and their entrepreneurial capacities. The minor is a joint offering of the College of Business Management and the Interdisciplinary Studies Program.<\/p>\n
