Teaching Methods & Faculty
Senior Faculty...
Classes in the IMM Program are taught by the senior faculty of the collaborating schools, and by selected faculty from other universities in Europe and North America. All are accomplished instructors who have taught extensively in executive educations programs, have substantial research and publication records, and have experience as consultants to corporations and government agencies. A list of the current faculty for the Program is provided at the end of this Program Summary.
Teaching methods include lectures, discussions, case analyses, student presentations, group projects, computer simulations, and guest speakers from industry and government. The curriculum and teaching approach have been adapted to the experience levels of seasoned professionals and to the demands of a compressed time schedule. Each residential session involves 36 hours of classroom time during two six-day weeks. The Program combines conceptual and applied materials, which are integrated in the classroom, with evening study work which provides an opportunity for learning from and interacting with fellow participants.
The Program is intensive and demanding, as would be consistent with a graduate professional program in management. Serious preparation for the classwork is expected, and academic standards are carefully maintained to ensure the integrity of the earned degrees. As a result, however, the educational benefits are substantial and the degrees earned are significant professional credentials.
