Creative social entrepreneurship (CSE) is the skills-based practice of establishing new ventures that combine creative methods with commercial strategies to improve the economic, environmental, political, and social well-being of society. Creative social entrepreneurship transcends the arts and culture, entrepreneurship, and leadership practices through the synthesis of these skill sets (communication, resourcefulness, risk-taking, value creation, etc.) to bring new and innovative products and services to market – all with the goal of meeting community-based societal goals.

The online graduate and undergraduate certificates in creative social entrepreneurship combine theoretical and empirical perspectives with the development of practical skills and opportunity recognition towards the application of knowledge to real-life new social venture issues faced by those establishing and managing creative social innovation-driven enterprises. The certificates are designed to expand the entrepreneurial experience, knowledge, and skills of creative professionals currently ideating and establishing new social ventures in the creative and cultural industries.
