Business at Moore

Business at Moore Summer Program

The 2013 Wells Fargo Business at Moore summer program, sponsored by Wells Fargo and hosted by the University of South Carolina's Darla Moore School of Business, will be accepting applications beginning January 1, 2013.  In its seventh year, this program brings high-achieving, minority high school juniors to campus for one week, enabling them to discover the many opportunities available in business. It also gives these students a chance to meet other high school students from throughout the state, as well as current Moore School students and faculty.   

Thanks to our sponsor, Wells Fargo, this program is available at no cost to the student. Through the program’s classes and activities, the student will have the opportunity to:

• Learn the essentials of how a business operates
• Learn how executives make business decisions
• Find out what types of jobs are available in business
• Talk with and learn from USC students, faculty and local business executives

In addition to attending business classes and working on a group project, the students experience campus life by living in the dorms, sharing meals on- and off-campus, and exploring some of the local entertainment venues. Previous businesses which have hosted this group include Yesterday’s, Lizard’s Thicket, and AMF Park Lanes bowling alley.

Students who attend the Wells Fargo Business at Moore School summer program and enroll in the University of South Carolina as a business major are eligible to apply for renewable four-year scholarships available through the Darla Moore School of Business.  To date, the Business at Moore program has awarded thirty scholarships to participants in the program.

If you are interested in a future that includes a business education and a business career, the Wells Fargo Business at Moore summer program can help you explore your options.
