DMN Blog: Back to School

by Albert Breer

Cowboys Bobby Carpenter and James Marten are 114 players taking part in the NFL Business Management and Entrepreneurial Program, which will be held on four different college campuses over the course of the spring.

Carpenter is headed for the Kellogg School of Management at Northwestern University, while Marten will be at the Wharton School at the University of Pennsylvania. Workshops will also be held at the business schools at Harvard and Stanford.

The Kellogg program will focus "on developing and selling a brand and evaluating franchise opportunities," according to the NFL's release. The Wharton program will cover "a broad range of business topics, including financial analysis, entrepreneurship, real estate development, stock market investing, negotiation skills, risk management, and community reinvestment."

good to see carp and marten exploring other career options.
