USASBE has created a resource for faculty and program directors on Entrepreneurship Program Assessment. It is under 'Knowledge Resources' on the USASBE website (http://usasbe.org)  

Mike

Michael H. Morris, Ph.D.

Professor and N. Malone Mitchell Chair

Head, School of Entrepreneurship

Oklahoma State University

Stillwater, OK  74078

ph:  (405) 744-5357

Our college is considering seeking AACSB accreditation (a decision well above my pay scale).  I have been asked to put together/figure out how we will assess our entrepreneurship majors at the end of the program.  Any suggestions/resources/direction would more than helpful.  Side note here -- We do not require our students to complete a business plan in our program.

Secondly, I am currently putting together a pre-/post-assessment of our declared majors in blackboard.  Once declared, they will be asked to complete an assessment at the beginning of their program.  When them complete the capstone course (or within this capstone course), they will complete a post-assessment to measure knowledge change.  Is anyone currently completing a similar type of assessment?

Any help and guidance is greatly appreciated.

Jeff

Why don't you run both sets of students, beginning and capstone, through the same business game at the same time? The capstone students should do better if your program is effective. Let me know I can help you with this approach.
