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.

All students in the program will take the following art, business, marketing, and community development courses:

  • Brand Design
  • Principles of Management

“[Covenant] creates a hunger for knowledge and nurtures a desire to solve real world problems…big and small. And when you want to make the world around you a better place, a natural by-product is the creation and growth of companies, initiatives, churches, projects, organizations, and movements.”
- Sheldon Grizzle ’03, alumnus entrepreneur
