The Minor in Social Impact is for students who want to make a positive social impact on society. It offers students a diverse set of conceptual tools and experiential learning opportunities from the faculties of Arts, Social Sciences, and the Telfer School of Management. The minor goes beyond traditional approaches to “social innovation” and “social entrepreneurship”. It encompasses a broader sense of social impact that includes entrepreneurial activities that aim to create a sustainable and socially-oriented business, as well as creativity for social impact, innovative problem solving, and policy transformation, via informal associations, non-profits and advocacy and human rights organizations.
