Launch Program

Maybe you already know your career aspirations and are eager to begin developing professional skills. Or, maybe you're feeling confused about which major or job fits you best. No matter where you are, the Launch program is a great place to start.

This nine-week, immersive program surrounds students who have an interest in exploring economics and business. Together, we’ll take a broad look at business before making decisions about your future. And through workshops and projects, you’ll develop skills for whatever comes next.
