In-person coursework is the foundation of the program. Students convene during five on-campus residential sessions, led by Brown’s world-class faculty, provide an opportunity for peer-to-peer collaboration and community building. These relationships are the foundation for the powerful network that develops, creating an environment for a lively exchange of ideas and connections that serve as expert resources during and after the program.
The coursework includes a mix of lectures, class work and group projects. Each session features specially curated events such as guest speakers, visits to leading companies, social events and expert panels that enable students to learn from Brown’s deep network of experts and industry contacts.
After each residential session, time is set aside for post-work — thoughtful assignments that tie courses together and empower students to reflect on key lessons they’ve learned during in-person lectures. During this time, students do not have new lessons so it provides an opportunity for you to transition back to your professional work after a period of intense study.
