UNC’s Kenan-Flagler Business School Launches New Undergraduate Summer Program

The Kenan-Flagler Business School at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill has announced the launch of a new summer program designed for undergraduate college students from around the world to business studies at the school.

The new five-week, for-credit “Summer Business Immersion” program will include entrepreneurship and finance courses, presentations by Kenan-Flagler professors and guest speakers, company visits and leadership skills development. Participants will also take part in an orientation program, a weekend trip to Washington, DC, and networking, cultural, sports and other activities. 

As part of the entrepreneurship course, participating students will meet with serial entrepreneurs, work in teams to develop a business plan for students’ ventures and practice presentation skills to make a business pitch. The finance class will be taught in UNC Kenan-Flagler’s state-of- the-art Capital Markets Lab, which provides a real-world setting for students to use information and complex analytical tools to manage assets and add value for future clients.

The inaugural “Summer Business Immersion” will take place from June 18 –July 27, 2012, and will include housing in UNC’s Old East residence hall.
