You’ve got critical reasoning, creative thinking, and team collaboration skills. But how do these skills relate to organizations, business, and a career? The Art of Business Summer Academy teaches you how to connect the skills you’ve learned in school with careers in businesses or any organization. 

Whether it’s managing a museum, raising funds to better our world, or supplying consumers' needs in environmentally-sound ways, the Academy can help you find your way. We’ve distilled the most important strategies and techniques from our business curriculum to build upon your existing knowledge. You’ll learn the strategic thinking, marketing, and management skills that you need to complement your liberal arts education in your future career.
