Scholarship: Multicultural Student Recruitment Fund

Summer Business Academy

The Summer Business Academy selects rising college juniors and seniors for a weeklong immersive experience including a case competition, a field trip/service experience, and discussions and exercises with Carey alumni and faculty. The academy connects students with those at other colleges and universities and helps them explore how a business education might accelerate their career.

Michael Weaver was an inaugural academy scholar in 2019 when he was a rising senior at Howard University majoring in business finance. [The experience] “has definitely exceeded my expectations” he said. “Coming in as one of the first cohort members, to have this experience, I believe I’ve gained a lot more than I expected. Between the case studies, the speakers, it has really allowed us to walk away from this experience feeling like we’re more inclined to develop who we are, not just as individuals, but how we can make changes in the workplace and go from here.”

Academic partnerships

Carey actively partners with colleges and universities to develop a pipeline of students for our MBA and specialized masters programs. Relationships include Alabama A&M, Bowie State University, Coppin State University, Goucher College, Hampden University, Lincoln University, McDaniel College, Morgan State University, and University of the District of Columbia.
