The Tuck Business Bridge Program is a career-oriented, intensive summer program for juniors, seniors, and recent graduates of liberal arts and science universities. Students are taught the basics of business--leadership, marketing, accounting, and finance--in four weeks of total educational immersion. Students learn about global economics and corporate policy following the introductory week. The last week includes a culminating experience in which students collaborate to present a team project. The program focuses on career development, as well. Students gain knowledge in interview training and learn how to prepare resumes for an on-campus recruitment session.
