The Certificate Programs for Individuals give you insider access to the unique ecosystem of Silicon Valley. You will acquire cutting-edge insights into entrepreneurship, innovation, and new venture creation, and acquire skills that you can use to build a new business venture or to create a product or program inside an existing organization.
Our program combines rigorous academic content with hands-on learning opportunities that reflect the latest trends in Silicon Valley entrepreneurship and innovation. In courses presented by USF faculty, lessons from guest lecturers, and off-site visits, you will “connect the invisible dots” between academia and the real world.
There are two upcoming programs for individuals:
Amazing to be immersed into Silicon Valley culture and set up. Loved the structure of the courses and how each session built into each other. Fascinated to think differently that is not in my specific pillar but to broaden my thinking which has then in turn allowed me to challenge myself more and recognize my personal opportunities.
