Graduate Certificate in Entrepreneurship

The Graduate Certificate in Entrepreneurship, offered by McGill's School of Continuing Studies, prepares students to launch and manage a new business from initial concept through to real-world operation. The program covers core skills in modern entrepreneurship, including preparing, managing, and presenting a business plan, accessing funding resources, founding and establishing a start-up, developing a targeted sales plan to grow a customer base, and managing a small business. Instruction is delivered by practitioners with industry experience, and assignments are modelled on real business scenarios. The certificate is intended for individuals seeking to build business acumen and practical entrepreneurship skills rather than a general management background. As of the current admissions cycle the program is closed to new applicants, with prospective students directed to McGill's continuing education office for information on alternative programs. It sits within the School of Continuing Studies' business management program area.
