The Innovation Diploma is a new credential developed as a direct response to the request of students from the industry to work at the intersection of creativity, innovation and entrepreneurship.

The course includes students with open, dynamic and networked problems by taking a trans disciplinary approach. This generates attributes related to complex system thinking, creating value in problem-solving and inquiry, and creating imaginative and ethical citizenship. Students develop entrepreneurial and intra-entrepreneurial skills and the ability to use interdisciplinary skills effectively. These attributes and capabilities make it possible for graduates to identify and develop solutions to some of the most complex problems facing their disciplines and society.
