Program Requirements
The Entrepreneurship Pathways Certificate takes less than one year and has the flexibility to meet your individual needs. Almost a third of the required curriculum is electives, which means you can choose from an entrepreneur’s dream list of subjects, including international business, web page design, communicating with employees, and technical report writing.
Students entering the program are expected to have basic keyboarding and computer skills with business application software such as Word and Excel. If you do not have these basic skills, you should take Introduction to Computer Information Systems (CIS 120) during your first term at UCC.
Placement scores indicating MTH 020 or higher and WR 115 or higher are required for entry into the program.
