Entrepreneurship Certificate Program
The Entrepreneurship Certificate
at Covenant College
Covenant College has a strong history of graduating entrepreneurs across all fields, including the arts, community and social impact, construction and contracting, education, food and beverage, manufacturing, media, medical, real estate, retail and e-commerce, and technology. While this growth has been organic for years, students now have the opportunity to add an Entrepreneurship Certificate complementing any primary course of study.
Students in the Entrepreneurship Certificate program will consider problems and prototype potential solutions. They will navigate business model generation as they consider best practices, break-even points and financial projections, and gain experience writing a business plan.
In addition to partnering with Praxis Labs and CO.STARTERS, we encourage students to pursue internships relevant to their fields of interest.
