The multidisciplinary entrepreneurship certificate is designed for non-business majors. The certificate in entrepreneurship is appealing to anyone who may either operate their own for-profit or nonprofit business now or in the future. It is also appealing to those who will have careers either working in small/medium sized firms or in related fields. The flexibility of the certificate allows students to design programs that include these courses. Entrepreneurial thinking plays an important role in all aspects of society and is critical in the practical side of career planning. The certificate prepares students to be highly functional in innovative and creative environments. This certificate is ideal whether you are starting a business to offer your professional services, joining an existing small or medium-sized business, or planning to work in an innovative capacity within a large organization (intrapreneurship).
