What You'll Learn

Our Graduate Certificate in Entrepreneurship Program will help students develop the tools, assets, experience, and network needed to lead an entrepreneurial initiative, whether a business, organization, or groundbreaking product or service. It emphasizes how to start a new venture, from your first idea to the official launch date, to scaling the effort.

Many of the program’s coursework assignments can be immediately applicable to tasks that entrepreneurs will need to complete to move forward with their venture. Examples include developing a press kit, “pitching” the business to various audiences, formally registering your business (if applicable), establishing a partnership and/or management team, and exploring the financial feasibility of an endeavor to assess and manage risk.

  • Demonstrate and apply industry-specific expertise, responsibility, critical thinking, initiative, and communication skills.
