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
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
