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.

Students will complete 4–5 hours of asynchronous work in December. January 1–3, students will individually participate in full-day remote sessions. After returning to campus on January 4, students will work in a hybrid classroom full of fellow ��߲ݴ�ý 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 evaluated by successful ��߲ݴ�ý 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 ��߲ݴ�ý alumni who will be on campus.

The inaugural cohort of the ��߲ݴ�ý-Tuck Business Bridge Program is anticipated to include 20-30 ��߲ݴ�ý sophomores and juniors.
