Welcome | Tuck Next Step

Next Step is a new executive education program inspired by the needs of U.S. military veterans and Olympic and national team athletes who are ready to take the next step in their careers in the military or in business. Individuals who want to remain in service, are planning their separation or retirement, or have recently separated, as well as athletes looking to move beyond their competitive careers would benefit from the program’s mix of classes and career development activities.

Thanks to the generous support of Tuck and Dartmouth alumni, they are able to offer scholarships for 50 participants! The fee for the 2.5-week program is ONLY $500 – you know what a great opportunity this is! A $200 deposit is required upon admission to hold a seat, with the remaining balance due at the start of the program.

The classes are designed to encourage peer-to-peer learning as well as learning from several successful business leaders who started in the military or as elite athletes. The program contains a robust array of career development activities, including a career day devoted to participants’ job search.

The inaugural session will be held March 1-18, 2017 at Tuck. The first application deadline is January 15, with a final round on January 31, space permitting. You can learn much more about the program on our website: http://nextstep.tuck.dartmouth.edu/ or our new brochure:
