The Park University School of Business will host the Summer Business Academy, a week-long, in-depth study of business, ethics, free enterprise, teamwork, and personal skills aimed at preparing students for professional business careers.
The June 13th - 18th program is modeled after Park’s semester-long “Introduction to Business” course and will provide students with an overview of business in modern America through a series of classroom sessions, field trips, mentoring, and team building exercises.

Students will explore business systems, discuss social and ethical responsibility, and learn the functions of management, marketing, personnel, production, accounting, finance investments, insurance, and business law.
Participants will also compete in teams to develop a marketing plan for a live business scenario and will present their projects on the last day of the Academy.
Students will be housed each evening in the new Copley Quad Housing Complex on Park’s original and historic Parkville campus, just minutes north of downtown Kansas City.
Qualified students must be in the Class of 2011 or 2012, have at least a 3.0 GPA, and have an interest in business or entrepreneurship. The completed application and $75 non-refundable deposit is due by April 15.
The cost to attend is $795 and includes course materials, housing, meals, transportation, and all Academy activities. There are a limited number of full and partial scholarships available, to be awarded based upon financial need.
