Program Description

The graduate certificate in corporate entrepreneurship at the Walker School of Business & Technology is designed to provide prospective corporate entrepreneurs with knowledge, skills and competencies needed to understand, develop, analyze and implement entrepreneurial initiatives within their companies.

In addition, the courses will provide a process by which a corporate entrepreneur within a proven company can create, nurture, launch and achieve success in a new venture that is distinct from the existing company but leverages present company assets, market position, capabilities or human and material resources.
