HAMILTON, N.Y. — Colgate University and the Tuck School of Business Administration at Dartmouth College have formed a new institutional partnership that gives Colgate students access to the Tuck Business Bridge Program, according to an announcement from Colgate.
This winter, Colgate 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.
Students accepted into the program will spend three weeks during winter break learning from Tuck faculty and current MBA students who will serve as resources. The experience kicks off with a week of remote learning from home before moving to a hybrid classroom at Colgate’s campus in Hamilton.
Students will be assigned to teams to deliver an in-person capstone case-study presentation evaluated by Colgate alumni.
“We are excited to partner with Tuck on this new initiative for our students,” Colgate President Brian W. Casey said in a news release. “For 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.”
He continued, “I am also thrilled that alumni support will provide the funds to help make this program accessible to at least 10 Colgate students who are receiving financial aid.”
After completing the program, sophomore participants will join Career Services’ annual SophoMORE Connections event beginning on Jan. 17, 2025.
Applications for the program are now open and due through Sept. 30. An on-campus information session is set for Sept. 11. More information about the program is available at colgate.edu/tuckbridge.
