For Dickinson students, the Tuck Business Bridge Program at Dartmouth College offers a transformative summer experience designed to complement a traditional liberal-arts education with practical, real-world business skills.
The program, hosted by Dartmouth's Tuck Business School and sponsored by Dickinson's Burgess Institute for the Global Economy, specifically targets non-business majors, providing them with essential tools like accounting and finance. Participants emphasize that while their home college provides the foundation, this intensive program offers a new way to see their discipline, allowing them to apply a more analytical mindset to their coursework back on campus.
"Tying this into the liberal arts education and narrowing in on one specific area and then being able to bring that frame of mind back to my liberal-arts education is really big," says Ethan Ferrant '28 (international business & management).
