Social entrepreneurship is all about overcoming challenges and solving problems in our communities and our world. This certificate program introduces students to the opportunities and challenges associated with building and growing enterprises that are both self-sustaining and focused on a social mission. Students will engage in an experiential learning process with others to develop a better understanding of the domain of social entrepreneurship including the development, measurement and assessment of various social enterprises. In the Entrepreneurship Department, we teach students by immersing them in experiences like this to better understand how to add value and make a difference in those communities. Whether you start a new social venture, you constantly seek opportunities for the public good, or you want to add value in a non-profit, the Social Entrepreneurship Certificate is designed to build and train the growing social entrepreneurial workforce. Entrepreneurship and the ability to recognize opportunities to create viable, sustainable solutions are skills needed in our volatile, uncertain, complex, ambiguous world. The Social Entrepreneurship Certificate is a multidisciplinary educational initiative bringing students together from across campus to develop expertise on how Entrepreneurial practices can help build and sustain Social organizations. The Social Certification Program provides a suite of tools, mindsets and experiences for understanding how to excel in the social workforce. This certificate program builds qualifications for employment and/or further study in Entrepreneurship. The Certificate provides a framework for understanding entrepreneurship from a variety of disciplines and application of entrepreneurial skill sets to meet workplace demands.
