What You'll Get at the End

After completing the questions, you'll receive a PDF report instantly emailed to the address you use when you register. The report includes a numeric score for each of the eight key categories along with specific recommendations customized to your responses.

Background

The Pulse Checker is meant to help you learn about your school and ask yourself questions about your entrepreneurship programs and resources that you may or may not have even thought of before. Just the act of answering these questions will be insightful and useful.

The questions and categories were developed by K-12 educators and business school faculty and are based on research from entrepreneurial communities, existing entrepreneurship programs, and the Institute for Entrepreneurship at Colorado State University.
