In partnership with the David Eccles School of Business, the John and Marcia Price College of Engineering offers engineering students the exciting opportunity to be certified in entrepreneurship. Students will learn how to take their engineering skills and apply them to business and technology concepts.

Upon graduation, the Engineering Entrepreneurship Certificate will prepare you for careers as an engineer or businessperson. Learn the skills to launch your startup, company, patent a product, or freelance as a consultant. Careers in law, research, and administration are also possible with further education at the graduate level.
