Outside-the-box Batesies: Meet five DIY students who created their own majors

For four weeks during this year’s Short Term, 31 Bates students — biology, economics, and philosophy majors alike — caught a glimpse of careers in business while taking the Tuck Business Essentials course, offered for the first time this year in collaboration with Dartmouth’s Amos Tuck School of Business Administration. Whatever their prior knowledge of business, the students showed up with critical thinking skills and eagerness to learn in-hand — hallmarks of a Bates education — says Peter Friedman ’92, who earned an MBA from Tuck in 2003 and served as practitioner-in-residence for Tuck Business Essentials. “Students were very engaged and interested in the topic, which was great,” Friedman says. “They were strong and very capable.” In these photographs, students in the Tuck Short Term prepare for and make their final course presentations, first getting ready in the Purposeful Work area of Chase Hall, and then on a Zoom call in Chase Hall Lounge.
