The Program

Earn an Associate Degree in Entrepreneurial Kingship from Entrepreneurs Kingship University!

The Associate Degree in Entrepreneurial Kingship is an accredited academic program taken at the undergraduate level—the first stage of education after secondary school. The aim of the degree is to give you, the student, the basic biblical, academic, and practical knowledge you'll need to go on to employment, start your own business, or study further in a chosen field, all while equipping your God-given gifting and teaching you transferable skills.

Dr. Mariette Kussmaul, Dean of Entrepreneurs Kingship University, describes the program this way: “As an entrepreneur myself, my purpose on this earth is to help you release the ‘unwrapped genius’ in you so that your gifting and talents become prominent and obvious to you about how to serve your team, the marketplace, and your community. Our concentration and efforts are deliberately focused on equipping Kingship entrepreneurs, building a solid foundation on how business will be done in the future, and engaging your God-given gifting—which is your full potential!”



THE PROGRAM IS FOR:

  • 1st-time business or ministry entrepreneurs.
  • Those who want to turn their business around with kingdom principles.
  • Those who have tried and failed in business but want to give it another try.
  • Those who want to get unstuck and move forward with their venture.
  • Those who lack confidence or faith in business ventures due to prior failures.
  • Those who need confirmation that their “dream idea” is God’s dream for them.
  • Those who know their “dream idea” is God’s dream and want to fulfill it!
  • Anyone who wants to see results in entrepreneurial endeavors!

The Associate Degree in Entrepreneurial Kingship will remove the fear of business that you may have because you believe business is complicated or because you just don’t understand it well enough to know how to pursue your dream.

When you enroll in Entrepreneurs Kingship University’s Associate Degree in Entrepreneurial Kingship, you will enter a 12-month program that will give you the tools you need to become an extraordinary entrepreneur with a sense of personal confidence and focus, and the ability to equip others. As stated, this program is perfect for any first-time entrepreneur, established businessperson, or minister wanting to reach more people for God’s kingdom.




Online Learning

Entrepreneurs Kingship University is 100% online. You can study on your own pace! Although every month there is one scheduled virtual classroom experience, the rest of your work is completed online. This online format gives you the opportunity to further your education while fulfilling your responsibilities to both your family and your career. You can choose when and where you study.


Time Commitment

The Entrepreneurs Kingship University Associate Degree in Entrepreneurial Kingship is a 12-month program. Each month there is one virtual-classroom session in which you will learn from a member of our faculty and interact with other students. Each virtual-classroom session is 2 hours long. In addition to the monthly virtual classes, you will have required reading and assignments. You should plan on a total of 3-5 hours of additional coursework each week.


Internship

Each student of The Entrepreneurs Kingship University is to structure their own appointment with a relevant workplace for a five-month paid internship after they have passed their “theory phase” on the Associate Degree with a score of 85% or above. The Intern is to develop practical skills and knowledge on how a business operates while working at the workplace. The enterprise should consider a bonus structure in completion of the intern’s five months, weighed on good merits. Dr. Kussmaul must be introduced to the enterprise, enabling her to explain the necessary requirements guiding the process on deliverables.


GRADUATION REQUIREMENTS

To graduate and receive your Associate Degree in Entrepreneurial Kingship, you must successfully complete the 12 modules (outlined below). These 12 Core Modules are required by our Dean for graduation.

MODULES

The 12 modules and the tools incorporated in them are specifically designed by and for entrepreneurs. They will guide you in gathering strategic information so you can confidently write an effective and practical Business Plan and do business God’s way.

The modules are progressive in nature. The first eight, the “theory hours,” will lay a foundation of wisdom, knowledge, and understanding that will build your confidence, erase fear, and establish peace so you can move forward with assurance, knowing you have nothing to fear from pursuing an entrepreneurial venture.

The last four, the “practical hours,” will ground you in the applications you’ll need to successfully pursue your dream. You will also have the opportunity to test the viability of your blueprint Business Plan through a 5-month internship. Thus, you will have an advantage not afforded to many entrepreneurs—you’ll be equipped to launch a company that has been tried and tested before it even reaches the marketplace.
