Social Entrepreneurship Certificate

The Certificate in Social Entrepreneurship is designed for those interested in learning about and practicing social entrepreneurship, intrapreneurship, and innovation for addressing complex societal, health, or environmental issues. Social entrepreneurs, intrapreneurs, and innovators attempt to create a better society while also ensuring the financial viability of their efforts. Not only do they focus on the triple bottom line, but also may break down traditional barriers between business, government, and the nonprofit sectors. Consequently, this interdisciplinary certificate invites students at the graduate level to learn the basic principles, skills, and theories of social entrepreneurship along with strategies for designing and launching new ventures. Students can utilize three credit hours from their academic field of study or an approved elective to enrich this interdisciplinary experience.
