Elon University’s Summer Business Institute is a 10-week Charlotte-based program that allows students to earn a Business Administration minor through AI-integrated coursework and professional experiences, with applications open now and an Early Decision deadline of December 15.
The Martha and Spencer Love School of Business has launched the Summer Business Institute, a 10-week immersive program in Charlotte that allows Elon students to earn a Business Administration minor in one summer.
Students enroll in a sequence of core business courses that integrate AI applications, case projects and applied learning to build practical knowledge in areas such as accounting, marketing, management and finance.
To complete the minor through the program, students also take a foundational economics course before or after their time in Charlotte.
The program is designed for students focusing on non-business majors or business students early in their academic journey.
“We are excited about the Summer Business Institute because it gives students from any discipline the chance to build a strong foundation in business while learning alongside industry partners in a vibrant city environment,” said Mark Kurt, associate dean of the Martha and Spencer Love School of Business. “This program reflects our commitment to preparing students to understand how business, technology and community intersect in practice.”
Co-curricular experiences include site visits, alumni and employer engagement, career coaching and job shadowing-style activities that connect classroom learning with Charlotte’s finance, technology, healthcare, energy and entrepreneurial sectors.
The Summer Business Institute is open to Elon students in good academic standing. Applications are now open, with an Early Decision deadline of December 15 and rolling admission from January 5 through March 1.
