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 to campus during the summer before their senior year to get a glimpse of life as a college student.

The program is free—including housing, meals, and activities—thanks to generous donations from our program sponsors. Your only expense will be travel costs to and from the program. You’ll learn about different aspects of business and participate in business simulations and case studies.

You'll also work with professors, staff, alumni, Tippie students, 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.

Participation is by application only. The program is open to all, and underrepresented or under-resourced populations in business are encouraged to apply.
