USA Today News: College Courses enlighten family businesses

Family Business College Courses

USA Today has come out with a wonderful article talking about the growth in family business classes across the country.  According to the article, Stetson University in DeLand, Fla., which graduated its first class of family-business majors in 2006, says 42% of its business students and 37% of all students come from families involved in family businesses. Closer to home, UNC Chapel Hill, UNCG, and Wake Forest University all offer family business classes.

Family Business USA is a big advocate of these courses and encourages family businesses to take advantage of these opportunities.
