The Entrepreneurship certificate program provides students with the skills to start their own enterprise, work with others to identify business opportunities, join entrepreneurship ventures, or work for an established organization. Entrepreneurs are often in demand by growth-oriented companies wanting to incorporate their vision and innovation in their firms and by companies seeking individuals who have the ability to solve problems creatively and improve productivity. Regardless of size, all businesses need managers who can identify opportunities, obtain resources, plan, organize, direct, and control work to accomplish business objectives.
Topics covered during the course work include entrepreneurial thinking and opportunity recognition, developing a business plan, obtaining resources, managing finances, strategic planning, selecting managers and employees, organizing and designing the business, managing technology, and successfully dealing with managerial challenges.
Entrepreneurship students will also take courses to gain an overall understanding of business such as accounting, basic management, sales and marketing, and computer information systems. In addition, students will focus on a particular elective course chosen from a variety of topics to better fine tune the program to fit their selected areas of interest or personal employment goals.
