Courses and Programs for Entrepreneurs, Entreprenologists & VisionEngineers
With the early groundwork carried out in Pakistan and India during the early 1960s while with the University of Southern California and the Ford Foundation, the concept for an entirely new discipline solidified in the early 1970s when, as a Professor at the University of Hawaii, Dr. James R. Omps (circled above) was asked to present a seminar to a group of top business and government leaders in Taiwan at the time. The inaugural session was opened by the then Minister of Economic Development, The Honorable Sun Yat-Sen. It is interesting to note that the Minister went on, a few years later, to become Premier of Taiwan. The challenge that Dr. Omps faced was this how does a professor from the college of business present anything worth while to business people who are at the very top of their respective fields? The answer came when he realized that he would have to craft his program around a concept that he had been working with for some years that of entrerenology. At the time, Taiwan was seeking a way to compete effectively in the global market that was rapidly emerging in Southeast Asia during that time. So successful was the initial seminar that the Government of Taiwan requested additional seminars over the next few months. Did these seminars have any measurable effect? If you have ever charted the growth and influence of Taiwans economy, you will note that it expanded dramatically through the 1970s, becoming an effective competitor along with Japan as they moved forward into the 1980s. Following the success of the Taiwan seminars, the International University of Entreprenology - initially incorporated as the International Institution of Entreprenology was established in the State of Hawaii on July 31, 1972. A 501(c)(3) public non-profit foundation, the IUE was, for its founders, Dr. James R. Omps, William Long and the first Vice President, future United States Senator Orrin G. Hatch, the first step in the realization of a vision a vision to create a unique institution dedicated to the research, development and presentation of programs specifically to meet the education and training needs of the men and women who create jobs the entrepreneurs, entreprenologists, and VisionEngineers of the world more commonly known simply as employers.

The Programs
The IUE offers a complete range of programs from undergraduate up through post graduate. The institution also offers a complete range of programs leading to professional certification. Our degree and certification programs offer the program participant an option they can invest their time and resources in programs with a more traditional look and feel or they can opt for programs offering a different path to achieving essentially Imagination is more important the same outcomes. than knowledge. Knowledge is limited. Imagination encircles the world. IUE degree programs, although shorter and less of an expense than similar programs offered through more traditional institutions of higher learning, require nonetheless that the student be prepared to invest both time and money once a program has been selected. Professional Certification programs, on the other hand, are substantially shorter in length and less of a drain on available resources both financially and with regard to time. The student chooses the program that he or she considers the best fit the program in which he or she would feel most comfortable. As mentioned, the Professional Certification programs are relatively short-term, learning intensive courses focusing on the education and training needs of those actively involved in commerce in one way or another. These programs will be detailed herein but let us begin to tell you that they include Certified VisionEngineer, Certified Entreprenologist, Certified Small and Medium Business Administrator, and Certified MicroEnterprise Owner/Manager. You may ask why the IUE tends to promote graduate and post graduate programs more aggressively than we do our undergraduate programs. Quite simply, our research has shown that the clear majority of successful employers those entrepreneurs and entreprenologists that create and/or manage new, mature and growing enterprises already possess a functional understanding of operational skills and knowledge normally associated with an undergraduate degree in business, and have been applying them for some time. The primary difference between a traditional undergraduate degree in business and that offered by the IUE, however, is the early focus on the more creative and innovative aspects of such business program staples as accounting, finance and marketing. We have even developed programs that are so basic that they could easily be implemented in elementary and secondary school programs to offer an early start to those whose interest might be sparked in this discipline.

Professional Certification
More than half a century ago, Dr. James R. Omps, entrepreneur, entreprenologist, VisionEngineer, founder and Chairman of the Board of the IUE, recognized that there was a need to acknowledge the contributions of the men and women who established or directed companies that provided job spaces. He knew that economic growth only occurs when new job spaces are created. Whether you call them entrepreneurs, entreprenologists or intrepreneurs, these jobs creation specialists are people who put everything at risk up to and often including their selfesteem. They are professionals in every sense of the word and have been denied professional standing denied a designation that tells the world I am a professional. Those who successfully complete their selected program of study will have the opportunity to take the examination for professional certification and will - much like Certified Public Accountants in the United States and Chartered Accountants in the accounting profession - earn the right to be known as professionals in their particular area of expertise business.

Combined Programs
While degree and professional certification are most often offered separately, it is possible to take a degree program simultaneously with a certification program. This is now available for the first time anywhere in the world. Why can we offer such a program? Because certain professional certification programs focus on essentially the same elements covered in a certain degree program. The primary difference is: The degree program requires the submission of a research project and a complete Career Achievement Profile (CAP). The certification program requires the candidate to take and pass the Reality Based Examination (RBE) for that specific professional designation. The RBE is an open-book, research examination allowing the examinee access to all materials and resources provided and/or created during the course of the program. A word of caution here: do not think that an REB is a sure thing. In the past, more than one person has failed to achieve a passing grade. The successful completion of the exam is based upon the candidates ability to read the question and then find the appropriate answer and to do so within the allotted time. Should the candidate, for whatever reason, fail to achieve a passing score, he or she will be allowed to apply to sit for the next regularly scheduled examination. As with similar certification programs, this process may be repeated as often as necessary. Our experience shows, however, that an examinee has never had to sit for the exam more than twice.
