There are 5 self paced independent study modules that serve as the prerequisites to attending the classroom portion (module 6) of the program. Upon completion of the 5 self study modules, management program participants will attend and complete module 6 (40-hour classroom block). Upon completion of module 6, management course participants will submit a future-oriented 5 year strategic plan.
