Summer Bootcamp

What is Bootcamp?

Two courses, Financial Reporting &  Analysis and Auditing & Internal Controls, are each offered in an intensive, two-week format immediately prior to the start of classes.  Students needing to complete these courses prior to matriculation are welcome to take them on campus.  Typically, Financial Reporting & Analysis is offered beginning in mid-July, followed by Auditing in early August.

What's it like?

Students who have taken these courses in the past have found the experience to be demanding, but quite rewarding.  The group that goes through this experience together develops a camaraderie that carries forward into the academic year and throughout the program.  A social event at the end of the first week of each course adds to the group's bonding experience.

What is the cost?

The cost for each course during the summer of 2009 will be $2,700 for out-of-state residents, and $1,545 for in-state students.
