Winter 2018 - They structure the entrepreneurship courses like they're regular courses for the business school, so it was pretty fun to get to go to Anderson for a class on bringing new tech to market. Very interesting class that revolves around group work and culminates in a team presentation/report on a new technology that you choose, research for most of the quarter, and evaluate whether or not it should be taken to market. Workload was pretty manageable, completing weekly group case studies and researching till the end of the quarter when you definitely have to spend a bit of time getting ready for the presentation. Definitely recommend if you're into the tech industries.
