Bioinnovation and Entrepreneurship Certificate
Introduction
The Business School’s graduate certificates are primarily intended to give individuals with an undergraduate degree in any discipline access to business courses that can help them succeed in their current job, transition into a new role, or even launch their own company.
Students can pursue entrepreneurship certificates even if they are not CU Denver degree-seeking students. The GMAT is not required. Certain certificate credits are eligible to satisfy requirements within some of the MS or MBA degrees.
Classes in the ENTP department are taught in a variety of formats, including in-person (evening), online, and hybrid. They are offered in 8-week timeframes during the Fall, Spring, and Summer semesters.
Bioinnovation and Entrepreneurship Certificate
This Bioinnovation and Entrepreneurship Certificate provides students with the opportunity to gain insight into the rapidly growing field of bioinnovation. Taking advantage of the incredible Colorado biocluster, in collaboration with faculty at Anschutz Medical Campus, this certificate is one-of-a-kind and geared toward helping bioentrepreneurs achieve commercial success.
All three courses from this certificate are eligible to count towards the Masters of Science in Entrepreneurship.
Scholarships
At the graduate level, scholarships exclusive to entrepreneurship are available to only in-state students. Any in-state student, degree-seeking or non-degree, who is currently enrolled in an ENTP course(s) AND is pursuing an ENTP certificate, MBA specialization, or the MS ENTP degree is eligible and strongly encouraged to apply. Students must have a current FAFSA submitted because award amounts vary based on need. However, out-of-state students are charged in-state tuition for all entrepreneurship courses.
