#139: Universities using ProvenAmazonCourse.com
Today we meet an instructor at Missouri State University, Dana Fredrick who is excitedly introducing concepts from the Proven Amazon Course into the classroom at Missouri State University. As a fellow business building warrior I thought you'd be interested to hear the perspective of someone from a "traditional" educational institution on how they view Ecommerce opportunities and specifically how they are applying the PAC to their entrepreneurship educational program. We are in talks with a good handful of universities right now and will have more updates for you soon on this rapidly developing story. We were honored when Dana sought us out to talk about the MSU vision for producing successful entrepreneurs using our content. Increasingly, PAC is establishing itself as the cutting edge content of choice in the Amazon selling space!
