Rising seniors – Harvard Business School is looking for you! Apply by 5/3 for their Summer Venture in Management Program and you could spend a week living the MBA experience. If you apply, drop us a note and keep us posted on your progress!
Application Deadline: May 3rd, 2017
The Harvard Business School (HBS) Summer Venture in Management Program (SVMP) is a one-week residential educational program for rising college seniors (who have completed their junior year of college by June 2017) designed to increase diversity and opportunity in business education. Founded over 30 years ago, this HBS tradition demonstrates the many rewards of an MBA degree to students who may not otherwise have considered this path. Participants spend a week on campus living the MBA student experience – attending classes, analyzing case studies, and debating management issues with peers and faculty.
This unique educational experience gives participants a broader understanding of the challenges business leaders face, the innumerable opportunities that exist in management, and the impact they can have on their community and the world with a graduate business education. Hear what recent participants had to say about the program.
Participants will be selected based on academic achievement, demonstrated leadership, and personal characteristics. Consistent with the objective of promoting educational diversity and opportunity in business leadership, additional criteria to be considered among others, are whether the applicant is:
- The first family member to attend college;
- A member of a group that is currently underrepresented in business schools and corporate America (e.g. African-American, Latino, Native American, Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, or Transgender);
- From a family with little business education or experience; and/or
- From a school whose graduates do not typically attend a top-tier university (e.g., attends a rural or predominantly minority college, or has attended a community college as part of a four-year degree).
Applicants must be US citizens or permanent residents and secure an internship for the summer of 2017 (through an organization or self-employment) in order to apply.
The SVMP application will be available online March 1st, 2017. The application deadline is May 3rd, 2017. Apply or find more information about SVMP.
