Graduate Certificate in Innovation Management

Creative thinkers bring new ideas to life. Emerging entrepreneurs seek out change, innovation, and connection. They embrace critical thinking and seek continuous improvement. At Northeastern University, we want to inspire this kind of thinking. We encourage our graduate students from all academic backgrounds to explore their drive for innovation.

Study on your own terms. Courses are offered on weeknights Monday–Thursday on our Boston campus. You can choose to enroll in a class just one night a week or accelerate the program by taking a heavier course load each semester. International students must complete five courses over an eight-month period (two semesters) to be visa compliant.

Start your Graduate Certificate in Innovation Management at a time that works for you. You can enter the program in January, May, or September.

Build toward something more. The Graduate Certificate in Innovation Management is a unique opportunity to quickly gain fundamental business knowledge and earn a graduate-level credential from a top 40 U.S. Research University, as ranked by U.S. News & World Report. Our entrepreneurship program has been ranked #9 by The Princeton Review. And that’s just the beginning.

When you are ready to pursue a full graduate degree at Northeastern University, the credits you earn during the certificate program may be applied to eligible D’Amore-McKim master’s programs, including the Part-Time MBA. This is a valuable opportunity to turn your career-impacting graduate certificate into a more advanced professional credential.
