The EntreTech NYC immersion program at the School of Information Studies (iSchool) is now accepting applications for the May 2017 trip.
A signature immersion program at the iSchool, Entretech NYC is designed to give students a firsthand look at the companies, entrepreneurs, venture capitalists, and way of life (both personal and professional) in Manhattan.
