The FME is a year-long immersion into the world of business for first-year students. While you are learning the nuts and bolts of economic theory, probability theory, statistical analysis, quantative methodology, and business law, you and a group of classmates will also work together to invent, develop, launch, manage, and liquidate a business. We even loan your group up to $3,000 in start up money, and any profits you make are donated to a community service project, such as Habitat for Humanity. Since 1999 students have donated almost $250,000 and contributed over 15,000 volunteer hours to over 50 organizations.
