COURSES
The I&E Certificate requires four courses and two co-curricular experiences. All students complete I&E 352 (Strategies for Innovation and Entrepreneurship) and the I&E 499 Capstone course. Each student also designs an intentional “pathway” of two electives and two experiences that fit their interests. Students can be completely independent in their selections (the self-designed pathway), or they can use one of four other curated pathways of common student interests:
- Self-Designed
- Media, Arts & Entertainment
- Social Innovation & Policy
- Technology & Design
- Culture, Community & Commerce
The recommended sequence of courses is 1) gateway elective 2) I&E 352 3) second elective 4) I&E 499. Students must complete all other courses and experiences prior to enrolling in the capstone.
Listed below are the courses in the I&E Certificate curriculum. Unless cross-listed with I&E, the course numbers refer to the listing of the owning department. All courses meet the Certificate course requirements equally, regardless of how they are listed.

EXPERIENCES
In order to gain real-world application of knowledge and invaluable hands-on learning, students complete two learning experiences while in the Certificate program that are tied to innovation and entrepreneurship. One of the experiences is 300 hours; the other is 150 hours.
Examples include, but are not limited to, developing own ventures, internships, research, civic engagement, and independent projects.
Students identify and propose each learning experience prior to undertaking it. Students will be oriented to this approval process upon joining the program. All proposed experiences will be thoroughly reviewed for their relation to innovation and entrepreneurship, their quality, and how they fit the student’s stated objectives for completing the Certificate.
Students may choose to complete the experiences at any time, as long as the experiences meet the minimum hour requirements and are both completed prior to taking the capstone.
For each experience, students identify a mentor who will supervise the work or provide external expertise and guidance.
PORTFOLIO
- Students share their certificate learning journey with faculty, students, employers, and family.
- Students display projects and learning artifacts from their coursework and experiences.
- Students deepen their learning and personal growth through guided reflections.
