Curriculum

The EWKLP is a three-month curriculum intended to sharpen one's global business savvy, and build confidence for dealing with global business situations with a solid academic foundation complemented by a practice-based experiential learning environment. Enhancing your effectiveness and integrity as a global business person and knowledge leader is our main goal.  The EWKLP curriculum offers a holistic, multidisciplinary approach to managing issues pertinent to today’s business environment. Based on Peter Drucker's assertion that "management is a liberal art," the program features a liberal arts component including lectures and field study experiences related to history, philosophy, culture, religion, and cultural anthropology. The curriculum will challenge you to integrate theory and practice, and will provide you with a broad foundation for innovative thinking.
