Summer Business Institute - Parent Comments 

- " Tyler gained valuable insight into the business world which allowed him to pursue entrepreneurial endeavors over the last several years. Alison is a biological and chemistry major. Prior to entering dental school, she felt she needed to broaden has business knowledge due to setting up a practice after she completes her program."

- " The SBI program was a great way for our daughter with degrees in Asian Studies and Theater from Duke University to test her idea about whether her graduate B-school notion was a passing fancy or the beginning of a craft. It turned a potentially difficult decision-making process into a serious lifetime interest for her and a strengthened common bond based on a language we can both speak."

- " My son graduated with majors in Comparative Politics and Chinese. After graduation, he enrolled in the Summer Business Institute to get a better sense of the corporate world. He was very happy with what he learned and how he learned it. The program was consistently engaging and matched almost perfectly his level and interests. He particularly enjoyed the teaching styles of the professors and the team projects. I felt the overall curriculum was comprehensive and organized in such a way that students like my son could access it effectively. I would recommend this program to any recent college graduate who felt the need to ramp up their knowledge about business before pursuing a career."
