Residential Seminars

Four required residential seminars promote integrated thinking and global leadership. Each seminar builds upon previous classroom work and sets the stage for the next cluster of courses. Seminars are held at off-site locations.

Management Seminar

The introductory Management Seminar focuses on ethics and social responsibility.  The seminar highlight is a simulation that emphasizes interpersonal dynamics between people as they address issues that involve departmental interdependencies, power relationships, and judgment.  Students find this seminar highly motivational, resulting in tremendous personal growth.

Global Seminar

In this week-long seminar, you will participate in a comprehensive examination of the economic, political and cultural perspectives of doing business in the global economy. You will be exposed to strategic issues through an experiential learning process. The Executive MBA prepares students to become comfortable working in teams which function across borders. During the seminar, you meet with industry leaders, local, national and multinational businesses; and complete a group project. Company and cultural visits combined with both pre- and post-trip class sessions create a dynamic and rewarding educational experience. Executive MBA students visit Europe, Latin America, Africa and Asia. 

Leadership and Teambuilding Seminar

This 5 day seminar was created to develop and refine organizational leadership skills at multiple levels. Classroom activities and a physical challenge result in an intensive educational experience.  The challenge of leadership is to know your strengths and develop them in ways which have a direct, positive impact on the organization.  You will learn how well you really function in a group dynamic.  Do you rise to face challenges? Do you accept and handle risk? Do you adapt to change? How well do you really know your leadership style?
