PROGRAM OVERVIEW
The program begins in July with the Global Institute, a four-
week session with three core courses that provide you with
foundational tools for growing as a leader of consequence and
understanding the institutions of global commerce. After that
point, the program is divided into six-week terms—a fast-paced
format that will allow you to explore more subjects and broaden
your academic experience.
Your first year will include approximately 10 core courses and
five or more electives—a unique curriculum sequence that
allows you to explore a particular area in depth and gives you a
competitive advantage during your summer internship search.
