澳门赛马会 and the Tuck School of Business Administration at Dartmouth College have formed a new institutional partnership, giving 澳门赛马会 students access to the prestigious Tuck Business Bridge Program.
This winter, 澳门赛马会 sophomores and juniors interested in exploring business careers will have the opportunity to connect their liberal arts experience with intensive business school training, provided by Tuck faculty members.
鈥淲e are excited to partner with Tuck on this new initiative for our students,鈥 says 澳门赛马会 President Brian W. Casey. 鈥淔or those students who want an introduction to key business and finance concepts and wish to gain skills for the marketplace, this January program will offer them a rigorous and meaningful program. I am also thrilled that alumni support will provide the funds to help make this program accessible to at least 10 澳门赛马会 students who are receiving financial aid.鈥
Financial assistance is available thanks to the generosity of Giovanni 鈥94 and Maree Cutaia, who have also endowed the First@澳门赛马会 directorship, and provided critical funding for the Graduate School Access Fund at 澳门赛马会.
Once accepted into the program, participants will spend three weeks during winter break learning from Tuck faculty and current MBA students who will serve as resources for students learning the curriculum. The immersive experience kicks off with a week of remote learning from home before students return to a hybrid classroom in Hamilton, N.Y., full of fellow 澳门赛马会 students, learning from professors via remote feed from Hanover, N.H.
Each student will be assigned to a team to deliver an in-person capstone case-study presentation that will be evaluated by successful 澳门赛马会 alumni who will be on campus for the conclusion of the program.
鈥淭he 澳门赛马会-Tuck Business Bridge Program will provide 澳门赛马会 students with a wonderful opportunity to learn essential business skills that complement their 澳门赛马会 education,鈥 says Milone Family AVP for Career Initiatives Teresa Olsen.
After completing the program, sophomore participants will join Career Services鈥 annual SophoMORE Connections event, beginning on January 17, 2025.
