- Nebraska Syllabi for Entrepreneurship Courses
A set of six course syllabi was developed by the Curriculum Committee of the Nebraska Entrepreneurship Task Force and approved by the Chief Instructional Officers of all six Nebraska Communities. These course titles and syllabi provide a common foundation for entrepreneurship instruction in the community college system. By building instruction around these syllabi, instructors are able to provide a more consistent curriculum for students enrolled anywhere in our state.
These syllabi are also being used by secondary and four-year postsecondary institutions. The syllabi are a powerful tool in articulating courses from secondary to postsecondary institutions. - ESI

The National Content Standards for Entrepreneurship Education were developed through an extensive literature review and series of focus groups with entrepreneurs. They describe what an entrepreneur should know and be able to do in order to be successful. The Standards are designed to describe the entire field of entrepreneurship as a lifelong learning process.
The Standards and their supporting Performance Indicators are a framework for teachers to use in building appropriate objectives, learning activities, and assessments for their target audience. Using this framework, students will have: progressively more challenging educational activities; experiences that will enable them to develop the insight needed to discover and create entrepreneurial opportunities; and the expertise to successfully start and manage their own businesses to take advantage of these opportunities. - NebraskaEDGE
