Students pursuing a Bachelor of Arts at Marietta College may choose from a major, a minor, or a certificate in entrepreneurship. An Associate of Arts (AA) in Entrepreneurship is also available.

The Entrepreneurship program centers on five learning objectives; three are gained at the certificate level, a fourth is incorporated into the minor, while the major and associate degree encompass all of the objectives.

The Entrepreneurship certificate begins to enhance students' ability to:

Recognize and evaluate problems worth solving,

Create valuable solutions to problems, and

Communicate the problems and the solutions effectively.

The minor builds on the objectives of the certificate program (listed above) by equipping students with the tools that they need to:

Provide evidence demonstrating that proposed solutions are feasible.

Finally, the major and AA in Entrepreneurship build on the minor by fulfilling the following additional objective:

Be prepared to bring the proposed goods and services to life.
