Program Information
The Rowan Experience
Entrepreneurial Mindsets are in demand. Employers, alumni, and CEOs from across industries agree that an entrepreneurial approach to activities and outcomes – being drawn to opportunities, innovation, and value creation - is essential for success in today’s business world. Rowan’s Entrepreneurship Certificates of Graduate Studies (COGS) options leverage the vast entrepreneurial resources available for students to develop as leaders, think more entrepreneurially, and find new ways to create value. Each of the three Entrepreneurship COGS has a focused theme: Leading Innovative Organizations, Technology and Innovation, and Corporate Entrepreneurship.
The Leading Innovative Organizations COGS helps students apply an alternative way of thinking to assist in solving difficult issues for government, business, and the non-profit sectors. The Leading Innovative Organizations COGS also focuses on the transformation of Human Resource Management, diverse and complex business environments, processes that enhance individual and organizational performance, and advanced topics in entrepreneurship.
The Leading Innovative Organizations COGS is a valuable stand-alone credential for those seeking to refresh skills in their current roles. The Leading Innovative Organizations COGS program can also serve as a micro-credential on the way toward earning a degree, allowing students to sample content prior to being formally admitted into Rowan’s Master of Business Administration (MBA) with an Entrepreneurship Area of Concentration. The Leading Innovative Organizations COGS is also ideal for those who have not yet taken the Graduate Management Admission Test (GMAT) as GMAT scores are not a requirement for admission to the COGS program. Students who wish to later pursue the MBA Program at Rowan may have all COGS credits transferred into the MBA degree to satisfy an Entrepreneurship Area of Concentration; for this option, students must work with their Academic Advisor to ensure courses selected will satisfy Area of Concentration requirements.
