Curriculum

The curriculum for the Bridge to Business program reflects an MBA core. You'll be immersed in the methods, assumptions, and objectives that define a wide range of business topics:

Focused on Women in Business

The program emphasizes topics of particular interest to women in business. In addition to the module focusing specifically on this issue, the career development workshops examine gender dynamics in interviewing and salary negotiation. You'll also connect with women executives both on campus and at corporate sites.

For three weeks, you'll attend lectures, read and discuss cases, engage in classroom exercises, and conduct online business simulations. Students also have the opportunity to visit corporate offices and meet managers at companies like Turner Broadcasting and PWC. Two unique features of the B2B curriculum are our panels, including our Executive Alumnae Panel and our Young Alumnae Panel. 

The program's curriculum includes 27 two-and-a-half-hour modules. Monday through Friday, you'll participate in a 9:30 a.m. to noon module and a 1:00 p.m. to 3:30 p.m module. Bridge to Business does not meet Friday afternoons.

How to Register

Designed for students from all majors, Bridge to Business has no application process.

You can register for the program through AscAgnes when summer registration becomes available, just as you would for any other Agnes Scott course. Bridge to Business is designated BUS 225 and is categorized as a Summer Session II course. Please note that BUS 225 is a six-credit course that meets the first three weeks in August.

If you'd like to use B2B Award funding to defray Bridge to Business tuition, you'll need to submit a B2B Award application by April 15. 

“I would recommend every student take this course, and if it was up to me, I would make it mandatory. The Bridge to Business program was an awesome end to my undergrad. I’m very thankful for this opportunity.”
