Small Business (Entrepreneurship) Technical Certificate

The Small Business Specialist Technical Certificate is designed for students interested in learning about what is involved in opening a small business.  Ideally, students should take all four classes in order as they appear on the schedule below.  However, you may take as few as one course at a time.  Once you complete all four courses, you will receive a technical certificate. The courses are offered during the fall and spring semesters at Kent Campus.  Click here for fees and tuition.
