A Day In the Life
We’ve designed a schedule that combines academic coursework with professional skill-building. Through instruction from expert faculty member, Kathleen Fitzgerald, Scholars will learn to build and run a business using a multidisciplinary approach, which will reinforce how a company's strategic, investment, financial and operational decisions impact its profitability. The course is anchored in a continuous time simulation that mimics a live business environment and prepares you for future internships and full-time jobs. You'll also develop expertise in teamwork and career planning.
You'll work and engage with people with varied interests, backgrounds, and ambitions—much like Chicago Booth’s MBA program. The Summer Business Scholars Program will open your eyes to new ideas and different points of view.
While there is no "typical" day during SBSP, you can find a tentative schedule for SBSP 2019 below. Please note that all scheduling information is subject to change:
