Phase One Goals The first initiative of the Gordon and Marilyn Macklin Business Institute creates a program for second year college students who demonstrate outstanding potential and interest in the field of business. The program is selective and small scale, bringing together highly talented students in a strong and close knit community of scholars. The purpose of this program is to provide two-year college students, who often choose these colleges because of income or personal reasons, a chance for a collegiate experience that parallels that of the best business schools in the country. Students completing this program will have had unique opportunities which will expand their transfer options The cornerstones of the program are high quality seminar-style coursework with the College’s best faculty, scholarships, internships, and lectures. The use of information technology will be integrated into all aspects of the program and emphasis will be placed on developing transfer options at four year schools which have strong business programs. By focusing on second year students, faculty will have had an opportunity to become acquainted with business majors during their freshman year and identify those who can best benefit based on a variety of criteria rather than solely based on grade point average. |
