    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.

    It was amazing to be surrounded by such high caliber students and staff who were all encouraging and fabulous to work with. I took away many positive things from my week as a Summer Hoya.

    The program offers so much–from the off-site visits to the daily lectures and the on campus activities. The lectures were interesting, meeting new people was great and the off-site visits were interactive and intriguing.
