Classes I'm thinking about

So currently I am thinking about two programs. One is the Certificate in Marketing, and another is a certificate in Entrepreneurship from Scheinfeld Center. While there also courses which do not require credits, I am more interested in the for credit course. The Certificate in Marketing requires 24 units (students usually take 12-15 units a semester for full time), and the Certificate in Entrepreneurship has 17. This is totally doable in a year and a summer. Melissa Moreno, the Director, said they will be creating an Associates Degree as well, so I will want to find out more about that too. I am really interested in learning business skills and being able to start a business, and I am also interested in marketing (although maybe a little bit less). I would like to start an app with one of my friends who does computer programming for the iphone. The cool part about the program is that you apply it to any business, use your actual business in the class, and change it if you need to while going through the program. The skills seem like excellent life skills, explaining how to legally create a business, the finances of it, and how to create a Business Plan. They also create the New Venture Contest which I've mentioned in previous posts, but it's a contest between students with a business idea, that gives them actual money to begin.
