Here are just a few of the ways the twice-monthly schedule makes it more convenient for top-tier professionals to take part in the program.
- The later start on Fridays gives students the option to spend the first part of their days as they choose. They can concentrate on their work responsibilities, travel to the program, or focus on any of their other priorities.
