About the MA in Innovation Degree
Why Study Innovation at Cedarville?
Cedarville University's Master of Arts in innovation, offered by the Robert W. Plaster School of Business, is a specialized academic program that focuses on developing the knowledge and skills necessary to foster innovation in various industries and organizations. The program is at the forefront of this rapidly expanding field and will equip you with the tools and strategies needed to identify and seize opportunities, create value, and solve problems through innovation.
At its core, the program celebrates God's creativity and will encourage you to discover what innovation and creative problem-solving looks like from a Christian worldview and to become His creative image-bearers as you use creativity to serve others.
The curriculum combines theoretical knowledge with practical applications and hands-on experiences. It covers a wide range of subjects related to innovation, including design thinking, various forms of research, creativity tools, entrepreneurship mindset, market analysis, and strategic thinking. Throughout the program, you will engage in a variety of activities, such as case studies, group projects, simulations, and real-world problem-solving exercises. You will generate your own "problem worth solving" and carry that idea sequentially through the progression of courses.
A master's degree in innovation will give you the knowledge, skills, and mindset necessary to lead and drive innovation within organizations, foster a culture of creativity, and contribute to economic growth — all from a biblical worldview.
The MA in innovation is offered as a unique collaboration between the Cedarville University Plaster School of Business and the International Center for Creativity in Columbus, Ohio.
