The Graduate Certificate in Entrepreneurship is suspended.
The Graduate Certificate in Entrepreneurship is suspended beginning Summer 2022, as we explore ways to reimagine this program for the success of our students. We are here to answer your questions about this potential change. Connect with us at mba@bsu.edu anytime for more information. We also encourage you to request information about alternative programs.
If you’re considering the graduate certificate in entrepreneurship, you’re probably an innovator and a risk-taker. You’re determined to put a daring idea to work. But do you have the follow-through skills to make your plan happen?
Course work in this certificate shows you how to seize an opportunity, make it operational, and finance and market its success.
Faculty who have a track record in entrepreneurship interact with you one on one and step by step on class assignments. Those same faculty, who have notable expertise in areas of entrepreneurship, may have written your class material. Because the program is customer focused, you get feedback on assignments within 24 hours and you don’t have to wait for responses to your email.
If you’re not ready to begin Ball State’s nationally ranked master of business administration (MBA), the certificate will show your employer that you’re serious about bringing innovation to your position.
