Indy Overview
Starting Spring 2025
Expanding the reach of our longstanding and award-winning program at Purdue’s flagship West Lafayette location, The Certificate in Entrepreneurship and Innovation Program is available to Purdue Indianapolis undergraduate students in all majors who want to transform their ideas into new ventures, generate value in established organizations, or have a positive impact on society.
Similar to a minor, to participate, students complete a series of five courses or entrepreneurship-related experiences, many of which overlap with major academic requirements.
Requirements across both locations remain the same however, approved courses to satisfy option and capstone requirements vary. Learn how this program fits with any Indy plan of study and requirements for beginning and continuing Indianapolis students.
