DSEF partnered with UNCG to develop course content that advances knowledge of the direct selling industry. UNCG’s Entrepreneurship Cross-Disciplinary Program (ECDP) professors, under the leadership of DSEF Fellow Dr. Dianne Welsh, developed and incorporated direct selling modules into their curriculum (both online and face-to-face), including a minimum equivalent of one week of lectures and assignments out of a 15-week semester. The modules were developed for entrepreneurship cross-listed courses in key fields related to channels of distribution (i.e. information technology, sales and marketing).
