Why Take Family Business Courses?
Family businesses are everywhere—and leading, advising or building one requires skills you won’t learn in a typical business course. Family business courses at CWRU help students understand the unique dynamics of leadership, ownership, succession and family relationships that shape multi-generational enterprises.
These courses are valuable for students who may work in a family business, want to start their own business, plan to advise family enterprises or are interested in entrepreneurship, leadership, consulting, wealth stewardship and governance.
All courses are open to all CWRU undergraduate and graduate students. Each course is 1.5 credit hours, there are no prerequisites and courses may be taken individually.
Current family business courses at CWRU:
- DESN 360/460: Family Business Fundamentals
- DESN 361/461: Building, Managing and Preserving Multigenerational Wealth in the Family Business
- ORBH 362/462: Leadership and Winning: How Sports Teams Are the Model for Family Business Success
