North Dakota State University’s College of Business has announced the introduction of a new Entrepreneurship Certificate program. The effort is a partnership with the University of North Dakota College of Business and Public Administration.

“This new certificate program is a joint effort between the two universities and will draw upon the faculty resources from both business programs,” said Tim Peterson, associate dean of business. “As an exciting new program at NDSU, it will enable students to take advantage of the nationally ranked entrepreneurship program at UND while continuing to work with their NDSU faculty.”

According to Peterson, the first course in the new program is Concept Generation and Technology Entrepreneurship, which is a one-credit course being offered this fall in a compressed format. Enrollment is limited to 30 students.

The remaining courses required to complete the 16-credit certificate will be offered in future semesters.

The business programs at NDSU and UND are accredited by the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business, also known as AACSB International.
