Entrepreneurs and small business owners – build your skills and increase your success!
This academy offers short classes to build skills you need to run your own business.
Noncredit courses are a great way to learn new skills and explore careers without impacting current
or future financial aid or your GPA. This academy offers four Certificates of Completion:
Entrepreneurship, Small Business Funding, Small Business Development, and Small Business
Execution.
Complete one or complete them all to help you build your business. Courses are short
and, best of all, tuition free!
Students must enroll in all courses and pass with a P in order to earn the certificates.
Fall 2025 Schedule
Course schedules by certificate.
Online classes - you decide when to put in the time.
Online hybrid classes - meet once or twice for class and the rest is online.
