Fifty students attend each session of the AMP, and the college holds two sessions a year. Everything about the program integrates the new realities of 21st-century combat with the new logic of business. The students come from both worlds. Courses include Virtual Reality for Managers and Innovative Thinking for the Information Age. What really sets NDU apart is not what students learn but how they learn it.
Students spend time in the classroom wrestling with big ideas about the future of work and strategy.
But they also venture into the real world to see those ideas in action. And the best place to get your boots dirty is on the front lines of competition. Last winter, for example, AMP students traveled to Cisco Systems to experience how the booming Silicon Valley company does strategic planning. The competitive environment is changing so quickly that Cisco focuses more on adapting to change than planning for it. NDU's learning model also emphasizes teamwork and group problem solving.
