Social Entrepreneurship
With the Certificate in Social Entrepreneurship, Kelley MBA students can put their business know-how to work solving global problems— from building clean water supplies to improving opportunities in emerging economies. This is a cooperative program between the Kelley School of Business and SPEA.
The certificate takes 18 credit hours of coursework—six of which are required courses. Of the remaining 12 credit hours, Kelley students must take at least three credit hours through SPEA.
This certificate also requires participation in Kelley's GLOBASE (Global Business and Social Enterprise Program) or a qualifying internship in social entrepreneurship with a business, nonprofit or public agency.
Interested students should talk to their academic advisor about pursuing this certificate before January of their first year.
