TechTrek@Shea
Boston College and the Shea Center for Entrepreneurship present TechTrek, a course combining classroom learning on the BC campus with a field study to innovative cities nationally and internationally. The courses involve 25 master-class sessions with senior executives, entrepreneurs, and venture partners (nearly all sessions are led by successful BC alumni at firms from Apple to Airbnb). Students study strategy and competition in the tech industry, entrepreneurship, and venture finance, examining how firms go from startup to blue-chip.
Interested in hosting a company visit?
Undergraduate TechTrek West is competitively admitted and is open to all BC undergraduates in all schools, from sophomores to seniors. Any undergraduate who has completed a full year (two semesters) of courses at Boston College is eligible to apply for Undergraduate TechTrek West. Applications are posted, and selection takes place from late October 2021–November 2021.
Sessions are held nearly every Friday afternoon during the academic year. Students leverage BC’s geographic advantage to engage area firms and executives for master-class learning sessions through this program. Visits are open to all BC undergrads and grad students. We expect participants to research firms to maximize opportunities to engage in on-site Q&A with host firm executives, entrepreneurs, and venture partners.
