The program is divided into three 15-week semesters per year for two years. Students take three or four courses per semester and proceed through the program in lock-step fashion. Classes meet at One Morrocroft Centre in Charlotte's SouthPark area. Classes are held from 6 to 9 p.m. on Tuesdays and Thursdays during the first year of the program and on Mondays and Wednesdays during the second year. Occasional enrichment sessions are held either at the Morrocroft Centre or the Worrell Professional Center in Winston-Salem.
Students also meet regularly with their study teams outside of scheduled class time.
In keeping with current management practices that encourage teamwork, Charlotte students are assigned to self-directed study teams of five or six individuals with diverse educational and work backgrounds. Students stay with that team for the first year of the program then are reassigned to a new group for the second year.
