The Business Bridge really overcame my expectations. The Industrial Design program lacked business classes and I realized the Business Bridge would be a good opportunity to learn basic business skills (business model innovation, statistics & operations, marketing, finance & accounting).
The small class size promoted excellent discussions and I learned way more than I expected. There was quite an array of majors participating in the Business Bridge (interior, fashion, graphic), which expanded the classes awareness of different majors as well as educated everyone about subtle aspects of each major. We worked together to form business models, statistics and forecasts of our product or business, and determined effective ways of marketing these ideas.
During the Business Bridge I learned practical business skills I could directly apply to my previous designs from my undergraduate. Overall, I gained more knowledge in 8 weeks than I thought was possible! I recommend the Business Bridge to ANY design student looking to gain business knowledge and advance their designs further than ever before.
