The skills and exposure you get at Tuck Bridge are fully applicable to any business opportunity; in combination with a liberal arts education, Bridge provides a dynamic perspective to enter the professional world. 

Do you have a favorite memory from Bridge?
Preparing for the final presentation to pitch the panel of consultants and executives. This was phenomenal training and the pressure was on; it was great experience early in the professional timeline and can be built upon to give you a competitive advantage down the road. 

Describe your Bridge experience in one word or phrase.
Phenomenally applicable.    

Anything else you’d like to share to a prospective student? 
Yes - the program builds your resume. But even more important than a line item on a piece of paper is the fact that you’re investing in yourself to build a foundational skillset you’ll use throughout your entire professional life. You’ll have to fully commit yourself to the program.
