Curriculum
This 36-credit program has an innovative curriculum that combines business, management, and leadership coursework with design-centered studio work. The studio courses are two week-long studios in which students integrate what they have learned in the seminars to develop new business models and organizational designs for real-world business scenarios.
Cohort members complete the program in 18 months and are required to take only 18 days away from the office. The blended format of virtual and on-campus intensive learning gives cohort members the flexibility they need to balance their academic, professional, and social lives while equipping them with the tools needed to lead change in their industries.
