- A featured core curriculum followed by elective coursework. The core curriculum will be roughly 18 months in duration and will consist of the same core courses as the School’s Full-Time MBA and Executive MBA formats.
- Students will progress through the core curriculum together as a cohort, with the option of speeding up or slowing down their course of study during the elective period.
