What you will study

Courses and modules in this rigorous program include business communications and strategy, ethics, marketing, financial accounting, and organizational behavior. Course material is integrated so that everything you learn and do in class directly supports your Bridge Capstone Project and your personal career development.

Course delivery

There will be nine hours of asynchronous work between December 19 and January 2. After returning to campus on January 1, students will work January 2–15 in a hybrid classroom full of fellow º¬Ð߲ݴ«Ã½ students, learning from professors via remote feed from Hanover, N.H.

Capstone expectations

Each student will be assigned to a team to deliver an in-person capstone case study presentation evaluated by successful º¬Ð߲ݴ«Ã½ alumni who will be on campus for the program's conclusion. 

The Tuck Bridge Capstone Project allows students to apply the skills they acquire in the classroom to analyze and value a real-world business. Each team will select a publicly traded company, analyze its business, and determine how much the company is worth. At the end of the Business Bridge program, teams will present their recommendations and conclusions to successful º¬Ð߲ݴ«Ã½ alumni who will be on campus.

Cohort

The cohort of the Tuck Business Bridge Program at º¬Ð߲ݴ«Ã½ is anticipated to include 50 º¬Ð߲ݴ«Ã½ sophomores and juniors.
