Our Virtual Business course is a creative class designed for students to explore starting their own business using online technologies. Students will develop a broad base of entrepreneurial knowledge that includes managing, marketing, and financing a business.
We will create a web presence, identify steps needed to locate customers, set fees, as well as learn to provide administrative, creative, and technical services using advanced technological modes of communication and delivery. Students will also conduct online and offline marketing, maintain business records, and understand legal issues associated with a virtual business.
