Summer Scholars
Entrepreneurial mindset and opportunity recognition
This intensive two-week summer program offers freshmen and transfer students an opportunity to learn and apply entrepreneurial theories and practices with experiential learning and application.
Late July-Early August, 2025
The class meets Monday-Friday from 10:00 am – 3:00 pm in Bloch Executive Hall. We will provide lunch each day. We will also have 2 field trip days. Students are expected to be at class the full time.
Course fees
The tuition is the same as a full 3-credit summer course. Each student is eligible to receive a $1,000 scholarship, applicable specifically to this course.
Housing
The Regnier Institute does not provide housing or funds toward housing. If you are living in the dorms in the fall, you may be able to coordinate an early move-in with Residential Life. There will be a cost associated with moving in early.
