Advance your career with a Certificate in Entrepreneurship
If you are interested in becoming an entrepreneur, Colorado Christian University’s Entrepreneurship Certificate will help you develop skills related to “entrepreneurship as a mission.” CCU's entrepreneur training is a vehicle to share the Gospel on the mission field, whether in starting a local franchise, working in a family business, or helping a village become self-sustainable overseas. The certificate in Entrepreneurship is designed to help you craft an entrepreneurial mindset, which is vital for business start-ups as well as in established organizations.
Program Focus
Entrepreneurship as a mission; starting and running a business; social, sustainable and mission entrepreneurship; and entrepreneurial growth
Within these entrepreneur courses, you will also be required to evaluate opportunities to promote self-employment through creativity and the use of God-given talents.
The Entrepreneurship Certificate is available as a stand-alone program, or you may transfer 12 credits from the certificate to a CCU bachelor's degree in Business with an emphasis in Entrepreneurship. The Entrepreneurship Certificate can also be used to supplement a CCU bachelor’s degree in Accounting, Business, Information Systems Management, Human Resource Management, or Project Management.
