Course Requirements
The I&E Certificate requires four courses: a gateway course, a keystone course, an elective, and a capstone course. Students can choose from 10 gateway courses and more than 40 elective courses.
In the 2016-17 academic year, 40 innovation and entrepreneurship-related courses were offered to undergraduates. Duke I&E also initiated offerings for graduate students, offering three graduate courses this past academic year.
Generous gifts from Jeff (T’98, B’04) and Theresa (T’01, L’06) Eaton and Laura and Gary Lauder (P’19) support the Flexible Faculty Support Fund which enables Duke I&E to establish and run some of the many entrepreneurship courses offered.
REPRESENTATIVE I&E COURSES
All I&E Certificate students must take the keystone course (I&E 352 Strategies for Innovation & Entrepreneurship) and the capstone course (I&E 499 Innovation & Entrepreneurship).
