Program Description:

The mission of the program is to educate Newark-area high school students in ethics, particularly with respect to

business. We aim to introduce business as an honorable and interesting profession and to give students a sense of

the importance of college-level introductory work. The students take a series of seminars, led mostly by Rutgers

faculty, on appropriate subjects. They live in dormitories and experience life at the Rutgers-Newark campus.
