Certificates

Entrepreneurship Certificate

The Scheller College of Business offers a certificate in entrepreneurship for business administration and non-business administration majors at Georgia Tech. To earn a certificate, students must earn a "C" or better in each course.

Creativity, the development of novel and useful ideas, processes, or procedures by an individual or individuals working together can lead to successful implementation of a new idea or innovation. Entrepreneurship includes the ability to create and recognize compelling opportunities, assume risk, and attract the resources to transform opportunities into value.

The certificate covers knowledge and skills surrounding the entrepreneurial process including opportunity recognition, concept development, business plans, resource acquisition, and value creation.

Business Administration Majors

The content of the certificate program is composed of 12 semester hours that are not required for the BS in Business Administration and are not used as credit for other certificates. The courses must be taken for a letter grade, and a grade of "C" or higher is required for each course that counts toward an entrepreneurship certificate.
