Structure

This course series is offered three times a year as a 12-week program that includes Management Essentials and Advanced Management Concepts. They may each may be taken separately as a six-week course, or both courses may be taken consecutively for the full 12-week program. Coursework is completed online at the student’s pace on a weekly basis. At the end of each week, a live discussion group is held via Zoom and led by an expert on that week’s topic and content. It is strongly recommended that students plan to attend each live discussion. 

Participants of all our courses will have an opportunity to build a strong network of peers — an enduring source of support, advice, and personal connection. Receive your LAMP School of Management Alumni status upon completion and become part of a growing executive and management community of like-minded leaders and alumni.
