Lindner Business Immersion Camp

Linder_DAY2-1

Lindner Business Immersion Camp (LBIC) is an overnight program hosted by the Lindner undergraduate admissions team that introduces students to a variety of business disciplines through engagements with our faculty, alumni, current students and corporate partners.

By the completion of this program, rising high school seniors will have:

  • Familiarized themselves with Lindner and the academic disciplines offered.
  • Improved their public communication skills.
  • Completed group work (a critical part of any business school experience).
  • Added to their leadership portfolio.

This four-day, three-night program includes the opportunity to experience UC’s residence halls, classrooms and dining halls. Students will have the freedom to move about campus with strict expectations on timeliness and engagement (a trial run for a true college experience!).

Program cost, including meals and accommodations: $350. There is no day-only program, students are required to stay overnight in UC residence halls.

NOTE: For students who are looking for more support around crafting their college application along with business experiences, we recommend reviewing our Lindner Summer Institute. 

2025 Lindner Business Immersion Camp will be held July 13-16, 2025.
