Strategic Innovation and Entrepreneurship MBA Concentration Receives National Recognition

The International Center for Creativity's first partnership with Cedarville University began over a decade ago with the Bachelor of Arts in Industrial and Innovative Design major, and by 2016 it had earned a ranking of 5th in the nation by College Values Online.*

Our second collaboration, a concentration inside of Cedarville University's MBA in Strategic Innovation and Entrepreneurship, has now also gained national recognition, being named one of the best 50 Accredited Online MBAs in Entrepreneurship Programs by OnlineMasters for 2026.

The organization reviewed over 100 data points from over 2,000 programs to create its ranking and the collaboration appears on the national list alongside programs from Syracuse University, Pepperdine University and the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.

Offered through Cedarville University's Robert W. Plaster School of Business, the fully online program is designed for professionals who want to start, grow or lead innovative ventures while approaching business through a biblical worldview. The degree combines core MBA coursework with studies in design, innovation, creativity, entrepreneurship and sustainable business modeling.

New Undergraduate Degree Partnership Launches

The International Center for Creativity is proud to announce a new collaboration with Cedarville University's Robert W. Plaster School of Business; a Bachelor of Science in Strategic Innovation and Entrepreneurship.

"When we first launched the ICC we were an industrial design firm and school that taught innovation, and now we have grown to be an internationally-recognized innovation firm that teaches industrial design," said ICC president and co-founder, Jim Stevenson.

"I'm so appreciative of the school's dean, Dr. Jeffrey Haymond for listening to the idea for this new program and then for collaborating on the long process that it takes to seamlessly meld our innovation curriculum into their already robust business program," Stevenson added.
