Graduate Certificate in Technology Commercialization
The Certificate in Technology Commercialization is offered through the Greif Center for Entrepreneurial Studies in the Marshall School of Business at USC.
The certificate program provides students with a variety of opportunities to learn commercialization skills in an academic/real world environment that combines theory and practice. Students participate in our living laboratory academic program to experience the entire spectrum of the commercialization process: invention, product development, technical and market feasibility analysis, intellectual property acquisition, business planning, and venture funding while potentially becoming stakeholders in a new technology venture. They are also eligible to apply for summer internships sponsored by industry partners to give them additional experience in taking a new technology to market.
The program is particularly suited to those in science, engineering, and business. Students include masters and Ph.D.-level researchers in medicine, the sciences, and all areas of engineering as well as MBA candidates.
The completed certificate is awarded by USC and is documented on the graduate’s transcript.
