This certificate allows students showing an increased interest in the quickly growing field of entrepreneurship to take classes that will assist them in starting an entrepreneurial venture and increase their skills in the workplace.Section II: NeedEntrepreneurship programs are growing substantially, especially in universities in Utah, including BYU’s program, which is ranked as one of the best in the nation. Sister institutions such as UVU, WSU, and SUU have similar certificates. In addition to this growth, students have expressed more interest in entrepreneurship, especially over the last year. These trends indicate a need to develop an entrepreneurial program at Dixie State University to remain competitive. Programs such as Opportunity Quest, and Concept to Company encourage students to developed concepts into marketable ideas. This certificate would specify a set of courses to help students develop an entrepreneurial skill set. This skill set may be applied to multiple disciplines. The Entrepreneurship Certificate exposes students from all majors to the mindset and basic competencies provided in a formal entrepreneurship program without abandoning their chosen field of study. Coursework includes principles of small business development, financing, technology-based opportunity identification, and personal entrepreneurial development.Section III: Institutional ImpactThe Entrepreneurship Certificate will be comprised of classes already offered at Dixie Statue University which have excess capacity.
