Big ideas need more than inspiration. They need strategy, market insight and the confidence to put a plan into motion. An entrepreneurial studies certificate helps you develop an entrepreneurial mindset while learning how to evaluate opportunities, build business models and turn concepts into action.

Rather than focusing solely on starting a business, this certificate program teaches you how to apply your creativity and solve problems in a variety of professional settings. You'll gain experience in product planning, market analysis, decision-making and resource management while working collaboratively on real-world projects.

Outside the classroom, you'll have opportunities to connect with entrepreneurs, investors and mentors who can help shape your ideas. You can also put your skills to the test through the New Venture Challenge, where students compete for funding and support to help bring new ventures to life.
