Program Curriculum and Experience 

The program dates are typically the last week of January through the first week of February. Classes and discussion groups are scheduled six days a week.

The program curriculum covers the following: 

• Competitive Strategy 

• Health Policy 

• Financial Analysis and Control 

• Innovative Problem Solving 

• Operations Management 

• Organizational Issues 

• Leadership Challenges 

Because this is a full-time, residential program with a cumulative and interactive educational experience, accepted applicants must plan to attend and participate in all program sessions.
