What is an Entrepreneurship Certificate Program?

An Entrepreneurship Certificate Program offers an entrepreneurially driven agenda that college students may elect to participate in.  This program does not replace the traditional university degree, but rather accompanies it.  Students that successfully complete the requirements established by the university for this program will immediately receive a Certificate of Entrepreneurship.  This certificate may be presented to future employers as a form of validating skill sets and accomplishments.

Where do students come in?

It is up to the students to gauge the campus climate and culture.  This is the first, and arguably most essential step in the process of establishing a certificate program on-campus.  Without the proper audience or network established ahead of time, it becomes very difficult to generate enough interest to get the program off the ground.  

Where do faculty come in?

University faculty play an essential role in establishing this certificate program on-campus.  They must act as the big movers, interacting with members of the administration and helping to attain the funds that make such programs possible.
