Corporate Entrepreneurship Certificate of Graduate Study
The Corporate Entrepreneurship C.O.G.S. provides students with an overview of the potential for innovation and entrepreneurial opportunities of new ventures within a corporate environment.
Why choose Rowan's corporate entrepreneurship program?
Entrepreneurial mindsets are in demand. Employers, alumni, and CEOs across industries agree that an entrepreneurial approach to activities and outcomes – being drawn to opportunities, innovation, and value creation - is essential for success in today’s business world.
Rowan’s Entrepreneurship Certificates of Graduate Study (C.O.G.S.) options leverage the vast entrepreneurial resources available for students to develop as leaders, think more entrepreneurially, and find new ways to create value. Each of the three Entrepreneurship C.O.G.S. has a focused theme: Corporate Entrepreneurship, Technology and Innovation, and Leading Innovative Organizations.
The Corporate Entrepreneurship C.O.G.S. provides students with an overview of the potential for innovation and entrepreneurial opportunities of new ventures within a corporate environment. It prepares the entrepreneurs for strategic planning, and acquaints students with advanced statistical forecasting techniques. The Corporate Entrepreneurship C.O.G.S. is a valuable stand-alone credential for those seeking to refresh skills in their current roles. The Corporate Entrepreneurship C.O.G.S. program can also serve as a micro- credential on the way toward earning a degree, allowing students to sample content prior to being formally admitted into Rowan’s Master of Business Administration (MBA) with an Entrepreneurship Area of Concentration.
The Corporate Entrepreneurship C.O.G.S. is also ideal for those who have not yet taken the Graduate Management Admission Test (G.M.A.T.) as G.M.A.T. scores are not a requirement for admission to the C.O.G.S. program. Students who wish to later pursue the M.B.A. Program at Rowan may have all C.O.G.S. credits transferred into the M.B.A. degree to satisfy an Entrepreneurship Area of Concentration; for this option, students must work with their Academic Advisor to ensure courses selected will satisfy Area of Concentration requirements.
