Curriculum
Dates: June 24 - July 21, 2012
Tuition: $10,500
The SIGM curriculum combines a rigorous academic schedule, individualized job-search and interview workshops and consultations, and networking opportunities with professionals from a wide range of industries. The emphasis on team projects and small group discussions promote a diversity of ideas and provides participants opportunities to utilize the material in an everyday context.
Time Commitment
The program is considered full-time. Days typically begin with academic class sessions until the early afternoon. Later in the day, participants engage in professional development workshops and enjoy presentations from local companies. During the evenings from Sunday to Thursday, participants work in groups to complete daily assignments and prepare for their final projects. Readings and case studies must be completed before group meetings.
Academics
The SIGM core curriculum features classes covering nine functional areas of business, including: Finance, Accounting, Statistics, Economics, Operations, Strategy, Human Resources, Marketing, Non-Profit. Additional course modules supplement the core: Negotiation, Ethics, Organizational Behavior, and Leadership. These courses are foundational and assume no previous coursework in business-related subjects.
