Greg Dees is often considered the father of Social Entrepreneurship as an academic subject. Courses in Social Entrepreneurship, particularly those that tell stories of especially charismatic leaders, are very popular on campus.

Obstacles that social entrepreneurship faces in education: “Business schools still view social entrepreneurship as a practice, not a discipline; it is the same difficulty that entrepreneurship was faced with when it began. There is not enough academic research out there right now; there needs to be more in order to advance the credibility of social entrepreneurship as an academic field.” What brings students into the classroom: “It?s not just the use of earned income…it?s that the organizations we focus on are engaged in innovative, creative ways to tackle social problems; what attracts students is the innovation and…the willingness to look across sector boundaries for creative solutions. What they?re interested in is using their business skills to solve social problems.”
