What is the Certificate in Social Innvation?

The Certificate in Social Innovation is a digital document that verifies that you have successfully completed an Expedition and demonstrated emerging competence in three skill areas:

  • Design Thinking

  • Character Strengths

  • Presenting Publicly

The Certificate is accompanied by 2 college credits from Immaculata University’s Business School. The credits are issued for course BUS-200, “Social Entrepreneurship.” Immaculata issues a separate official transcript for these credits.

Why do we need a certificate in social innovation?

  1. College Admissions: If you are a high school student, the Certificate in Social Innovation + the Immaculata transcript will be important additions to your college admissions applications. They reflect robust information about what you have learned, the work you have produced, and how you have grown.

  2. Employment: Upload the Certificate in Social Innovation to your LinkedIn profile or personal website so that employers / internships can see the official record of your social entrepreneurship skills.

  3. Record of Growth: Expeditions are transformational learning experiences, so the Certificate links to the personal portfolio that you develop during an Expedition. The portfolio is where you, your teammates, and your coach reflect on your strengths, skills, and knowledge.
