Business Entrepreneurship Certificate of Achievement

Effective Fall 2020

The Certificate in Entrepreneurship is designed for students who are self-employed, current or prospective business owners, or those interested in new business ventures or startups. This certificate provides the foundation of business competencies including management, marketing, innovation, finance, communication, and leadership skills in a changing world. After a student completes the certificate, they may choose to continue their education and obtain a degree, apply their knowledge to their current job, or start their own business venture immediately.

Career Opportunities

It is estimated by the Department of Labor and the Small Business Administration that 80% of newjobs are initially created by small businesses. Entrepreneurs that start new businesses, add to the existing job market and take on the risk and rewards of being an owner. Putting an idea to work in a competitive economy can lead to satisfying personal achievement with some new ventures generating enormous job opportunities for others and wealth for the entrepreneur, investors, and employees. Choosing to pursue an entrepreneurship certificate and/or degree can offer a variety of career paths and can meet a variety of career goals. Entrepreneurship careers cover a wide range of industries and locales, and entrepreneurs can find opportunities in businesses of all sizes. An individual's interest and ability to focus on making a project work will determine what kind of career may develop. As an entrepreneur, a career path unique to an individual's interests, business knowledge, and ambition can be carved.
