Certificate in Entrepreneurship<br />
business.marquette.edu/academics/gsm-entrepreneurship<br />
The same skill set that is needed to create a business - innovation, entrepreneurism and business acumen developed within a context of<br />
social responsibility - is needed to succeed and lead in any business or not-for-profit organization. Students in all disciplines who start or<br />
work in entrepreneurial business during their careers will be more able to carry forward the <strong>University</strong>’s mission if their academic experience<br />
has included exposure to entrepreneurial practices.<br />
Students who complete the program will: a) demonstrate entrepreneurial thinking as it applies to their chosen discipline by successfully<br />
completing a practicum in which they apply principles of innovation to a project or develop an idea for a new business outside of the<br />
practicum, b) understand what it takes to start a new venture, including the basics of finance, marketing and management for a new and<br />
growing business, c) learn how to identify their personal strengths as an entrepreneur and how to build an effective leadership team for a<br />
new business and d) establish connections with the entrepreneur community within their profession.<br />
Certificates will be granted as "Certificate in Entrepreneurship."<br />
Students are required to have a 4-year, undergraduate degree from an accredited and approved institution that fits our current standards of<br />
admission to a graduate business degree program. The candidate is not required to take the GMAT or GRE to earn the graduate certificate.<br />
