Program Overview

Program Description:

You're in college. You want to gain experience outside of the classroom. You're thinking about an internship or study abroad, but you need something different. You learn by doing and want to make something meaningful, meet brilliant people, and gain timeless skills.

In June, you'll meet your classmates in Chicago for a rigorous two-week Meetup. Together, with a group of instructors who've worked alongside Stanford, Kellogg, and an array of companies, we will focus on curriculum around five core competencies.

You'll gain practical skills and knowledge that will help you in your career and life. You'll establish valuable relationships with industry leaders and peers. You'll develop the creative confidence and process to solve problems in any environment. You'll embark on an experience that will shape the way you view the world, define how you can make it a better place, and provide the credibility to launch you in the next step of your career. And, you'll do so as a builder of a new type of educational model. In addition, we’ve partnered with the American Council of Education to offer the chance to receive up to 12 units of college credit. At the end of the summer, if you successfully complete all aspects of the program, you can request a transcript of your course completion from A.C.E. You’ll need to check with your School’s Admissions Counselor to confirm they will accept a transcript.
