Cooperative Education: Entrepreneurial Development by Colleges and Universities. A Case Study of Berea College, Berea, Kentucky.
Kramer, Frank
The entrepreneurial development and experiential education environments of Berea College, Berea, Kentucky, are described. The college-owned enterprises of the Boone Tavern Hotel and dining room, college farms and poultry, college laundry, college store, student craft industries, and the college press are discussed in terms of markets and marketing, permissions and protections, management and business services, financial aspects, facilities and materials, and schedules and staffing. The principal characteristics of experiential education, including forms of implementation, work arrangements and supervision, and outcomes, are discussed. It is concluded that the primary financial benefit to the college of the program results from the opportunities for student employment. Other financial benefits provided by the enterprises include helping the college become a closed economic system and the market return on investment which provides a modest profit for year-end June 1977.
