Innovation: From Creativity to Entrepreneurship Specialization

Coursera's Innovation: From Creativity to Entrepreneurship is a great place to start. Specialization is a seven-course program given by the University of Illinois Urbana-Champagne that focuses on providing budding entrepreneurs with a solid foundation in innovation and creativity. Participants learn how to think like an entrepreneur and how to use innovation strategy and creativity to their advantage. The seven courses should be completed in order, leading up to the final capstone project, but they can also be taken individually. Students can move due dates around to fit their previous obligations if necessary.

This specialization devotes an entire course to creative collaboration, which is an important aspect of successful business activities that are often overlooked. This introductory course sequence is ideal for students who want to get a feel for the entrepreneurial mindset, produce new and creative ideas, and understand the principles of turning those ideas into a firm.
