Purdue University\u2019s Certificate in Entrepreneurship and Innovation moved up 10 slots in the Princeton Review\u2019s<\/a> and Entrepreneurship Magazine\u2019s 2024 rankings of undergraduate entrepreneurship programs. Purdue ranks 18th nationally and 8th in the Midwest. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cCross-campus entrepreneurship is one of Purdue\u2019s strengths, and we are proud to be recognized for our ability to scale entrepreneurship education across academic disciplines,\u201d said Nathalie Duval-Couetil, founding director of the certificate program and director of university entrepreneurship education initiatives. \u201cAt Purdue, students in all majors have the chance to expand their educational experience, career opportunities, and professional networks through entrepreneurship.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Purdue\u2019s Certificate in Entrepreneurship and Innovation Program has grown into one of the largest multidisciplinary entrepreneurship education programs in the country, serving nearly 2,500 students from over 170 majors across the university\u2019s West Lafayette campus. The program offers 55 entrepreneurship courses each year focused on entrepreneurship fundamentals, venture development, social entrepreneurship, small business consulting, diversity in entrepreneurship, and career preparation. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cPurdue\u2019s program is an excellent example of successful cross-campus collaboration, experiential learning, and leveraging the hands-on and interdisciplinary nature of entrepreneurship.\u201d said Jenna Rickus, Purdue\u2019s vice provost for teaching and learning. \u201cInnovation is a core value at Purdue and through this program, we are enabling students at every corner of our campus to discover their entrepreneurial drive, collaborate with others who share their innovative spirit, and learn how to move ideas to impact, whether they choose careers in startups or established organizations.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Similar to a minor, the program is designed to complement undergraduate students\u2019 majors. The program collaborates with each of Purdue\u2019s ten colleges for curricular and experiential offerings which offer numerous pathways for certificate completion. In 2020, the program received the Model Entrepreneurship Program Award from the United States Association of Small Business and Entrepreneurship, and it has received top awards from the Global Consortium of Entrepreneurship Centers and the Deshpande Foundation. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The program engages experienced entrepreneurs who have a passion for teaching and mentoring. Their rich networks engage many experts, entrepreneurs, and alumni from across the state and around the world. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBy design, our reach within and outside the university is wide,\u201d said Jeanette Greener, assistant director of the program. \u201cThis allows us to integrate what is really happening in the entrepreneurial ecosystem into the classroom, which inspires and motivates students.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Princeton Review rankings are based on an annual application conducted of roughly 400 schools with entrepreneurship offerings. The rankings consider more than 40 data points about the school programs, faculty, students, and alumni. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Purdue\u2019s Certificate in Entrepreneurship and Innovation is administered through the Office of the Provost and located in the Burton D. Morgan Center for Entrepreneurship. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Purdue\u2019s commitment to innovation and entrepreneurship is well-recognized.
