Get the business skills that can get you a job.

In just 30 days, Accelerator puts you on a fast track from the academic world to the business world. The program is especially valuable for students who have little or no business education or experience. Along with business fundamentals, you’ll learn skills—leadership, time management, working as part of a team, giving and accepting feedback—that employers value highly when it comes to internships and full-time jobs after college.

Get real-world, hands-on experience.

Along with 100 hours of classroom time, you’ll be immersed in real-world projects that help real companies solve issues in marketing, logistics, finance, operations and branding. Within the past three years, Accelerator students have handled projects for such corporate partners as American Airlines, Bridgestone Firestone, Sony Music Entertainment, MAPCO, Arrington Vineyards, Whirlpool, FedEx, National Civil Rights Museum and Hospital Corporation of America.
