Why: How would an extra $500-$1,000 a month help you? Maybe you’re not as motivated by the money and are more interested in the mindset and skillset growth that come with starting a micro-enterprise. Either way, we’ll help you find your why and help you learn to launch a business from scratch.

Cost: $795. Currently enrolled students of CSUDH are eligible for a 100% fee waiver upon acceptance into the program.
