What You'll Learn

Our graduate certificate 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.

The hallmarks of our programs align with the professional demands across numerous industries to develop and support startup entrepreneurs, managers, and leaders who are able to:

  • Apply innovation and creativity to managing people/projects.
  • Consider new and innovative approaches to solving problems.
  • Navigate uncertainty, ambiguity, and risk, while supporting teams through change, experimentation, and transition.
  • Demonstrate and apply industry-specific expertise, responsibility, critical thinking, initiative, and communication skills.
