Gear up for college with Tippie's Gateway Summer Program.
Get a taste of life on campus. You can read all the college brochures in the world, but there is nothing like spending a week on a college campus to give you a sense of your future community. The Gateway Summer Program does exactly that. We bring high school juniors from underrepresented backgrounds to campus during the summer before their senior year to get a glimpse into life as a college student.
You’ll learn about different aspects of business and participate in business simulations and case studies.
You'll also work with professors, staff, and business professionals and see what you can do with a business degree. Join us to explore Iowa City, the University of Iowa campus, and life as a business student.
