The Tuck Bridge Capstone Project allows students to apply the skills they acquire in the classroom to analyze and value a real-world business. Each team will select a publicly traded company, analyze its business, and determine how much the company is worth. At the end of the Business Bridge program, teams will present their recommendations and conclusions to successful 51�� alumni who will be on campus.

The cohort of the Tuck Business Bridge Program at 51�� is anticipated to include 40 51�� sophomores and juniors.
