Curriculum
The Virtual Enterprises International Program has developed a task-based curriculum that combines both academic and applied learning. It has also developed Economics for the Virtual Enterprise, a curriculum that presents economics concepts aligned to the day-to-day activities of the VE. Economics for the Virtual Enterprise is based on the New York State Education Department’s core curriculum, Economics, The Enterprise System and Finance, which is intended to be used to meet the curriculum mandate of the Board of Regents that requires all students to complete a half-unit of study in economics or its equivalent as part of their four-unit social studies requirement.
Copies of VE curricula are available to members of the VE network.
