Abstract

This study analyzed the start-up education curriculum and start-up education programs of seven universities in the U.S. to find out what courses are provided, what various programs exist, and what the characteristics of start-up education in each university are. California State University, San Bernardino / University of California, Irvine / Drexel University / Oklahoma State University / Florida State University / San Diego State University / University of Southern California where entrepreneurship education based on the Entrepreneurship Degree Course is being established based on the Entrepreneurship Center of seven universities in the United States, which is not well introduced in Korea. This study examined how the start-up education courses and start-up support systems at seven universities in the U.S. are progressing at the undergraduate, MBA, master's and doctoral levels, and comparative levels. Through the case studies of the universities presented, the primary analysis was carried out to explore the various characteristics of American university start-up education. The implications of start-up education at American universities in this study are as follows. First, in order for universities to take the initiative in providing start-up education, they should be organized to suit the course of start-up education suitable for the characteristics of universities and introduce support programs. Second, it is necessary to establish an independent center within domestic universities to be operated autonomously. Third, the start-up education of universities should include building university-industry partnerships, operating entrepreneurship degree courses and collaboration between departments of universities. Fourth, the independent center should lead the active participation of alumni and local start-ups and start-up-related programs should be operated based on this. Fifth, Differentiated programs for each university's characteristics should be introduced and applied to universities. Although case studies have limitations that cannot be generalized, they can provide a useful framework. Therefore, it is necessary to design a systematic start-up education that reflects the correct design direction and characteristics of each university.

본 연구는 미국 7개 대학의 창업교육 교과과정과 창업교육 프로그램에 대한 분석을 통해 미국 대학의 창업 교과과정의 특징과 프로그램의 현주소를 알아보고, 대학별 창업교육의 특징을 알아보고자 한다. 국내에 잘 소개되지 않은 미국 7개 대학의 기업가정신센터(Entrepreneurship Center)를 기반으로 학부단위 기업가정신 학위 과정 (Entrepreneurship Degree Course)을 개설하고 있는 대학 중 창업교육이 활성화 되어 있는 미국 드렉셀대학교, 서던캘리포니아대학교, 샌디에고주립대학교, 오클라호마주립대학교, 캘리포니아샌버나디노주립대학교, 캘리포니아어바인대학교, 플로리다주립대학교로 선정하여 진행하였다. 특히, 미국 7개 대학의 창업교육 과정과 창업지원제도가 학부과정, MBA과정, 석박사과정 그리고 비교과 차원에서 어떻게 진행되고 있는지 조사하였다. 본 연구를 통해 살펴본 미국 대학의 창업교육 시사점을 정리해보면 다음과 같다. 첫째, 대학이 주도적으로 창업교육을 하기 위해서는 대학의 특성에 맞는 창업교육 교과과정을 구성하고 지원프로그램을 도입해야 한다. 둘째, 대학 내 독립적인 센터를 설립하여 자체적으로 예산을 확보하고 이를 통해 자율적으로 운영이 될 필요가 있다. 셋째, 대학의 창업교육은 대학-산업의 파트너십 구축, 기업가정신 학위 과정의 운영 그리고 대학의 학과 간의 협업을 포함하여야 한다. 넷째, 독립적인 센터를 중심으로 동문, 지역 창업가들의 활발한 참여를 이끌고 이를 기반으로 창업 관련 프로그램이 운영이 되어야 한다. 따라서 각 대학의 특성에 맞는 차별화된 프로그램을 도입하여 국내 대학의 질적 성장 동력을 제고해야 할 것이다. 사례연구는 일반화할 수 없는 한계가 있지만, 유용한 프레임워크를 제공할 수 있다. 본 논문을 통해 국내 대학 창업교육의 현주소를 살펴보고, 선진화된 창업교육을 위한 방향성을 모색하고자 한다.
