The Graduate Certificate in Entrepreneurship provides a focused pathway for efficiently
launching a business, designed to fit the schedules of today’s busy professionals.
Tailored for aspiring entrepreneurs and small business owners, the program emphasizes
practical steps, from idea development and feasibility to market exploration and funding,
equipping students to turn their concepts into reality.
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.
