Students earn a certificate upon completing the intensive three-week program, which demands more time than a full-time job: expect 45–50 hours per week between class and evening study groups. All classes and events run on Eastern Daylight Time (EDT), and students must attend all live programming — so Bridge isn't compatible with a concurrent job, internship, or other coursework (e.g., Dartmouth Sophomore Summer). View our example in‑person schedule and virtual schedule for a greater understanding of the uniqueness of this fully immersive program.
Who Should Attend?
Business Bridge® is open to undergraduate rising sophomores (having completed one year of college) through graduating seniors, in liberal arts or STEM majors.
Our students come from all kinds of backgrounds — small colleges and large universities, every region of the U.S. and countries around the world, with majors ranging from English to engineering. Review our student demographics from recent programs.
Successful Bridge candidates bring these qualities to our program:
Strong academic record, especially in your major
We want to see that once you commit to a course of study, you push yourself to excel.
Confidence with numbers
Business analytics are quantitative, but you don't need prior accounting, financial math, or advanced math experience. We'll look at your courses, work experience, and/or test scores to gauge your readiness — ideally at least one quantitative course with a grade of B or above.
Core values, as demonstrated by your extra-curricular activities
Tuck Business Bridge is a community based on core values of leadership, compassion, and integrity. We look for evidence that you invest in activities consistent with those values.
Passion for collaboration and teamwork
We seek team players who share their knowledge and perspectives with others — tell us about your team experience.
Desire to expand knowledge base and experience level
Bridge offers many opportunities to grow—from peers, faculty, and industry specialists.
