Academics

The core curriculum of Grameen University is not organized around a collection of subjects, but around the cultivation of a single, powerful mindset called the Grameen Entrepreneurial Mindset. It is grounded in the belief that all human beings are born entrepreneurs. Some get a chance to unleash that capacity. Some never got the chance, never knew that he or she has that capacity.

Grameen University students are encouraged to look closely at the social and environmental problems around them. They learn to see failure as a normal part of learning and to build strength through trying again and again. Students will start with a question “what kind of world I want?” This is to help them use their power of imagination. Students are taught to use imagination and create value even when resources are limited, rather than waiting for perfect conditions.

This pedagogy applies to all fields of study, not only to business. At Grameen University, every student is prepared to become an entrepreneur. The university believes that entrepreneurship is not a special talent for a few, but a natural capacity of all human beings.
