Students move through the program together in lock-step fashion.
In the first semester , coursework emphasizes big-picture issues dealing with the external marketplace. During a typical weekend, students in the Business in the Global Economy course may study the critical macroeconomic and political factors that must be considered when making an international investment decision. The Accounting and Financial Management course may end the weekend by focusing on the related topic of financial statement analysis, which gives insights into the capabilities and strategies of competitors. In the second semester , the focus of the curriculum shifts to issues related to the management of internal assets within an organization. In the third semester , the program starts to broaden once again when globalization is emphasized.
