The Undergraduate Certificate in Interdisciplinary Entrepreneurship has been specifically designed to be applicable and accessible to students in all areas of study at NC State. Students who will find this certificate most engaging will be those students interested in turning ideas into action through starting ventures, working in a startup environment or applying entrepreneurial thinking skills to an existing organization. This certificate differs from the entrepreneurship minors available on campus by giving students a broad overview of the entrepreneurial process from an interdisciplinary perspective. Students will have the opportunity to explore entrepreneurial thinking in the arts, the social entrepreneurship sector, non-profits, for-profits, start-ups, growth ventures, B-Corps, and other areas of interest. Students who complete the Undergraduate Certificate in Interdisciplinary Entrepreneurship will specifically benefit from the interdisciplinary nature of instructors, peers, teams, mentors, materials, activities, opportunities, community partners and alumni.
