Learning entrepreneurship through a structured approach is the way to achieve success in a landscape where change is constant. Well-designed courses equip budding entrepreneurs to use the right solutions in the real world. Below, the syllabi of the different types of courses for entrepreneurs will help you explore the scope of learning.

Syllabus of entrepreneurship courses

The online courses, when they are foundational or intermediate, range from a few hours to several months. The modules are short, and generally interactive.

On the other hand, the online MBA programmes (or even offline ones) will cover in-depth topics, given that they are 18 to 24 months long. There are also other general MBAs where entrepreneurship is an elective. 

What to consider in any Syllabus of an Entrepreneurship Course?

These are the three most important aspects of the syllabus that should be of interest when deciding on an entrepreneurship course online. 

Define your learning needs

As today’s learning mantra goes in many upskilling circles, consider your needs first. 

Which area of entrepreneurship would you want to learn? 

Are social issues your concern, or do you hope to provide innovative tech solutions?

Or ask yourself whether you want to learn topics that help you get investors, convert your idea into concrete reality, etc.  

Another aspect is the schedule you can commit to. If you have a job, enrolling in a longer entrepreneurship program with in-depth topics, such as an online MBA or an online PGP would be useful. 

Most of the Coursera courses on Entrepreneurship come with tests after each chapter or topic. These tests are usually peer or instructor-graded, making them a good option. But if you are simply auditing from this MOOC platform, these tests won’t be graded. 

Count on your passion, knowledge, and experience 

A lot depends on your experience in the field. The introductory-level courses do not require knowledge of entrepreneurship.

But, the intermediate and advanced ones will have more in-depth topics and group projects along with those with equivalent experience. 

The syllabus of beginner-friendly courses may not even have any intensive coursework or projects. So choose accordingly. 

Bridge the gap between entrepreneurial goals and professional strengths 

Have you worked or thought hard on creating the vision for your future startup? You must have done the groundwork that way. That counts. 

And most likely, the courses that will cover similar elements that you already know may not be so useful. So when that happens across 70-80 percent of the syllabus, choose a different course where the topics are close to the fringes of your knowledge but need some thorough learning. 

Likewise, consider your previous academic education or work experience and see how that previous knowledge fits in your new path to learning entrepreneurship. 

That said, let’s dive into the syllabi of different online courses on entrepreneurship. 

Beginner-Level Entrepreneurship Courses Syllabus

The foundational entrepreneurship course syllabus some with the following topics. Note these are collated from some of the top ones. 

Beginner Entrepreneurship Courses

Developing business plan

Crowdsourcing principles

How to make technologies work for customers

Business registration

Obtaining funding from investors

Financial management

Brainstorming tactics

Intermediate to Advanced Level Entrepreneurship Course Syllabus

The experience-required entrepreneurship courses delve a little deeper into core topics. Expect learning advanced strategies with case studies and required participation in group projects. 

Intermediate to Advanced Entrepreneurship Courses

Business ethics based on contemporary compliance requirements or based on regional laws

Idea testing in the market

Stakeholder engagement

Online MBA in Entrepreneurship Syllabus

MBA concentrations such as Entrepreneurship are quite vast in terms of syllabus

Online MBA concentration in entrepreneurship programmes will differ slightly in terms of subjects. But overall, the scope of the study remains similar. 

Here is an example of an online MBA in Entrepreneurship and Leadership from JAIN Online. 

Semester 1

Business Economics

Managerial Effectiveness and Ethics

Organizational Behavior and Human Resources Management

Quantitative Techniques for Business Decisions

Semester 2

There are electives and a project thesis at the end of the last two semesters.
