August 15 - 26, 2022 Overview Many of our enrolling students pursue their academic training at Harris to strengthen their skills in data analytics and other evidence-based tools, and some may not have the background in these areas prior to enrollment. The core curriculum at Harris exposes students to economic theory, game theory, statistics, calculus, and algebra. The Jumpstart Program provides a refresher on these mathematical principles and concepts needed to successfully navigate the Core. It is a two-week customized program designed specifically for enrolling students that have a limited quantitative background prior to joining Harris. Students will work one-on-one with lecturers, tutors, and second year Harris student teaching assistants during the program. The program is intended to prepare students ahead of time for the larger Harris Math & Coding Camp that begins in prior to the start of the Autumn academic quarter. All enrolling students, regardless of prior quantitative strengths, are encouraged to participate in Math Camp. Registration Acceptance into the program is based on invitation, and there is no cost to participate in Jumpstart. Invitations to participate will go out in early summer. If you believe you could benefit from the program but do not receive an invitation, please contact the Harris Admissions Office.
