Overview of class

This course will give students an understanding of the language of business by studying key aspects of economics, accounting, and finance. With that foundational knowledge in hand, students will explore how best to project the future of any new venture or project and prepare an overall financial plan. Translating a creative concept into the language of finance is the key skill needed to launch any idea, as every potential funding source asks for certain financial information to be presented with a common approach. This course will teach students how to frame creative activities with the language of business and speak intelligently about the financial data behind any creative enterprise.
