The College of Management offers a certificate in entrepreneurship for management and non-management majors at Georgia Tech. To earn a certificate, students must earn a "C" or better in each course. Creativity, the development of novel and useful ideas, processes, or procedures by an individual or individuals working together can lead to successful implementation of a new idea or innovation. Entrepreneurship includes the ability to create and recognize compelling opportunities, assume risk, and attract the resources to transform opportunities into value. The certificate covers knowledge and skills surrounding the entrepreneurial process including opportunity recognition, concept development, business plans, resource acquisition, and value creation.
