Undergraduate Certificate in Entrepreneurship
The Certificate in Entrepreneurship program is designed
for students with any undergraduate major to complement
that major with a focused study in entrepreneurship. The
Certificate will help students to realize career plans that
involve innovation or starting new businesses. Some students
may use their major as they join a family-owned or other
closely held company. Those students will also benefit from
complementing their major with a focused study in entrepreneurship.
Admission to the Certificate in Entrepreneurship program
is subject to the minimum Georgia State University cumulative
grade-point-average requirement for entrance into RCB upper-level
classes. Obtaining the Certificate in Entrepreneurship requires
completion of any three of the following courses:
- MGS 4500 Entrepreneurial and New Venture Management
- MGS 4550 Managing a Family Business
- MGS 4560 Small Business Management
- MGS 4590 Entrepreneurship Field Study
Other experimental courses in Entrepreneurship, when
offered, may be included in the list with the approval of
the Director of the Herman J. Russell Sr. International
Center for Entrepreneurship.
In addition, you must have a grade point average of at
least 3.3 for the three courses, with no grade in any of
them lower than a B. Please be aware that some of these
courses have prerequisites and other requirements for enrollment.
Although students are permitted to take MGS 4590 twice for
graduation credit, it may count only once for the Certificate.
There are no additional fees required for the Certificate
in Entrepreneurship.
