An Entrepreneurship Certificate gives business professionals the ability to seize new business opportunities with knowledge and confidence. It is NOT necessary to be registered in a Master’s or MBA program to obtain an Entrepreneurship Certificate, but all students must have a Bachelor’s Degree.

The Jake Jabs Center offers certificates in entrepreneurship, bioinnovation and international entrepreneurship. For specific questions or course information, please send us an email or schedule an advising appointment with one of our team members.
