Capitalism is so enmeshed in the American cultural fabric that the philosophy is finding its way into classrooms. On campuses, entrepreneurship courses are now offered by more than 2,000 colleges and universities, up from 253 in 1985. At Monmouth University, Professor John Buzza considers both instruction and coaching necessary to undergraduate education. In one class, his students successfully marketed the popular pizza sauce of a local Italian restaurant to national chains. One 23 year-old student now serves as director of operations of the $1 million company. At Babson College, 25 to 30 student freshman classes are given $3,000 to start up a business that will run through the academic year. A class has yet to lose the initial investment.
