Guided by national, state, and university initiatives to promote rural entrepreneurship, faculty in Iowa State University's College of Family and Consumer Sciences (FCS) were awarded funding from the Kauffman Foundation and Pappajohn Center to expand their work in entrepreneurship education. A series of multi-unit learning modules was developed for introductory FCS courses. All modules focus on two primary components, awareness and assessment of entrepreneurship. The awareness component involves identifying distinct FCS-related entrepreneurial opportunities that include lifestyle businesses (Henderson, 2002), family-owned businesses, opportunities for women and minorities, and entrepreneurship in rural communities. The second program component focuses on students' assessment of personal fit with entrepreneurship. The collaborative approach to FCS entrepreneurship education provides expanded student learning experiences and helps develop the human capital necessary for successful careers and communities. This well-received pilot program may create awareness of FCS related career options, enhance career opportunities for students in Iowa, and strengthen rural economic and community development through refinement of students' entrepreneurial skills.
