The MQM is beginning its eighth year, with over 100 graduates and an impressive list of students and alumni who have received many promotions and job offers at higher levels of responsibility and higher salaries. Students attend the program with a cohort group of 25 to 30 professional colleagues. These cohorts develop friendships that extend well beyond the program.
Students help each other solve work-related problems throughout the year.
They stay in touch through telephone, fax, e-mail, and a listserv. The pre-class assignment phase consists of a series of readings and written assignments. During this phase, the student satisfies prerequisites for classroom work and achieves course objectives that do not require classroom attendance. Successful completion of these assignments enables the student to gain maximum benefit from classroom instruction. Students are on the Loyola campus for eight consecutive days three times each year for two years.
