Hoya Summer High School Information Session Webinar
Wednesday, Nov. 19, 4–5 p.m. ET
This information session will review our three programs: Non-Credit Academies, College Prep, and Summer College. We want to ensure that our prospective students are confident in their choice while planning their summer at Georgetown. We will provide an overview of each program and its respective application processes.
Georgetown's Business & Leadership Academy introduces you to the ins and outs of the business world. You'll spend your time engaged in a combination of classes, workshops, simulations, group discussions, and activities preparing you with practical skills and critical thinking abilities that will benefit you in your future academic and professional endeavors.
This program provides you with a framework to help you understand important business principles and explains how to go about recognizing business opportunities, challenges, problems, and solutions. Each class day will begin with a business briefing discussing domestic and global issues. To understand a business education framework, it is important to introduce you to business decision-making, investing, strategy, finance, management, marketing, international business, law, ethics, communications, writing a business plan, and, most importantly, leadership.
The Business & Leadership Academy gives you a broad overview of business fundamentals. The program should be of interest to high school students who want to pursue a business education at the undergraduate level.
