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 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. 

General Entrepreneurship Certificate 

This 3-course Entrepreneurship Certificate provides a range of focused courses geared toward individuals looking to start their own business. Students can select any three graduate level courses offered by the Jake Jabs Center for Entrepreneurship which is located in the heart of downtown Denver, voted the top city for business and careers in the nation by Forbes. Students are given the opportunity to learn from case studies, classroom instruction, and guest lectures featuring successful entrepreneurs and renowned business leaders. 

All three courses from this certificate are eligible to count towards the Master 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.
