Overview

The 12 credit Certificate in Entrepreneurship program, which is open to all university students, allows students to learn different aspects of entrepreneurship (for example, starting a business, buying a business or franchise, running a family business, corporate entrepreneurship or working for a small business) from faculty who have been successful entrepreneurs. The innovative program allows students to interact with entrepreneurs from the business community through guest speaking engagements, field trips, internships, and small business consulting projects.

Admissions Requirements

The University of Akron Bulletin acts as a guide for degree requirements, however official requirements are established at the time of transfer and admission to the degree-granting college. Once enrolled, students should refer to the degree progress report which is definitive for graduation requirements.
