In partnership with the Isenberg School of Management, the Graduate School is now accepting applications for the second Business Foundations Series for Scientists and Engineers. Launched last summer, this series supplements traditional technical training with foundational skills and knowledge in specific business areas, such as accounting, marketing, finance, operations management, leadership, business analytics, strategy, negotiation, and entrepreneurship. These skills will help graduate students navigate the challenges of managing and leading teams, communicate effectively with the business-side of the industrial setting, formulate strategic business goals and make informed business decisions. Last summer, 49 students participated in this program and 96 % reported that they would recommend this program to their peers. This non-credit summer program is supported by President’s Enhancement Funding and will be offered free of charge to current graduate students each Tuesday (8:30 am – 4:30 pm) from June 2nd – July 28th. Students who attend all sessions will earn a Certificate of Completion issued by the Isenberg School of Management. Class size will be limited to 50 to facilitate simulations, case studies, and group work. To be considered, graduate students must seek advisor approval and complete the on-line application by May 17th.
