I recommend the CCiB (Chicago Careers in Business) program to first-year students who are seriously interested in eventual business careers. Students who have participated in the program have performed very well in internship and full-time job hunts! A few reminders: It is NOT only for Econ majors. In fact, students intending other majors are especially [...]

It’s not completely overhauled yet, but the good folks running CCiHP have begun to improve and rework their website.

Story about conflicts of interest for Harvard medical school faculty — and the implications for students’ professional education. Re: pharmaceutical industry. Undergraduates considering health professions should read and reflect on stories like this. Interesting quote: David Tian, 24, a first-year Harvard Medical student, said: “Before coming here, I had no idea how much influence companies had [...]

What I mean by that is this: the absolute bare minimum premed coursework requirements are just that — the utter least that any prospective medical school applicant must pursue. These are listed in the Catalog: 3 quarters of Humanities for Core 3 quarters of Calculus [...]

Or, more accurately, CCIB. That’s the Chicago Careers in Business program. Many students express a broad interest in “business” as a career option but wonder how to prepare for that future while pursuing the classic Chicago education in the liberal arts and sciences. Some students default to an Economics major, assuming that it’s the logical [...]
