The online program has been made available through an a new initiative administered by the Missouri Department of Higher Education & Workforce Development.
“The state of Missouri has a program called Return Strong,” he said. “It’s designed to help individuals who have been displaced or are unemployed due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
“This covers not just the legal components of establishing a business entity, but investigating the idea or opportunity.”
The 9 credit-hour program can be completed in just one semester. Classes will begin Monday, Aug. 17, and conclude by Friday, Dec. 11. To enroll, visit www.mssu.edu.
