Entrepreneurship: Certificate of Achievement

This Entrepreneurship Certificate will consist of a minimum of 12 units and is expected to be offered with many of Napa Valley College’s degree programs. The certificate will include two entrepreneurial courses that will be combined with classes from a degree program. For example, the college has several Viticulture and Winery Technology Certificates and Degrees. Students with a Viticulture Degree could add our two entrepreneurial classes and be ready to start their own vineyard or winery. So our Entrepreneurial Certificate would require our two entrepreneurial classes and two of the viticulture degree classes for a minimum of 12 units. Similar combinations of classes would be set up with our Business, Hospitality, Health Occupations, Digital Design and other degree programs.
