2026 BUSINESS WEEK
BUSINESS WEEK
is an immersive 7-day, on-campus, residential summer program designed for current high school students. Held at Oregon State University, students get a taste of the college experience as they stay in the dorms and live the life of a future college student. We believe in learning by doing. Students work collaboratively in teams, engaging in project-based experiential learning. They face the exciting challenge of creating a business from scratch, discovering their untapped leadership skills along the way. It's a transformative journey that students and parents rave about! We are seeking driven students who are eager to delve into the fundamentals of business, understanding that hard work and a readiness to learn will fuel their education, career, and life aspirations.

Business Week costs $3,400 per student, but donations from our partners reduce the tuition to $2,195. Additionally, full and partial financial need-based scholarships are happily awarded to eligible students.
