Why
The Certificate in Ideation, Creativity and Entrepreneurship allows students to acquire business knowledge related to innovation, creativity and entrepreneurship; skills and abilities that can be applied to any discipline.

Small businesses – businesses with fewer than 50 employees – accounted for over 98.9% of the more than 150,000 business enterprises in the province in 2019 and are active in virtually every sector of the economy. In 2018, small businesses employed 31.0% of Saskatchewan’s workers.*


Who It's For

  1. Current University of Regina students
    • Hill business students
      • This micro-credential is a great way for students taking traditional majors to differentiate themselves.
    • Non-business students from other Faculties
      • There is a high incidence of entrepreneurship as a career choice for students in many other Faculties including Engineering, MAP, Kinesiology and Science. This certificate is a great way for students to offset their technical expertise with foundational business knowledge.
  2. University of Regina alumni
    • Build upon your past education and experience in order to succeed in your future entrepreneurial goals.

What It Looks Like
