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 (or Mgt 4500) Entrepreneurial and New Venture Management
  • MGS 4550 (or Mgt 4550) Managing a Family Business
  • MGS 4560 (or Mgt 4750) Small Business Management
  • MGS 4590 (or Mgt 4505) 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 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.
