Social Innovation and Social Entrepreneurship Certificate
The Social Innovation and Social Entrepreneurship Certificate program is open to undergraduate and graduate students and equips students with the latest tools and approaches to tackle the world's biggest challenges. Together, the four courses in this majority-online program will enable students to deeply examine a social or environmental problem of their choice and design a new business, nonprofit organization, or internal program to address that problem.
Throughout the program, students will be mentored by experienced PSU faculty, learn from practicing social entrepreneurs, work with peer mentors, and interact with leading experts. Courses can be taken in any sequence, with permission. With a focus on leadership and purpose, Impact Entrepreneurs guides students through a transformational learning experience.
