Entrepreneurship - Undergraduate Certificate

Overview

The Entrepreneurship undergraduate certificate addresses the needs of individuals who manage small businesses, as well as individuals who believe they would like to start a business in the future. In addition, the program addresses the intrapreneurship (innovative risk taking) needs of individuals who are currently working for larger organizations in which management is sharing decision-making and product development with all employees.
