Tuition

The program offers Oregon in-state tuition benefits to all participants regardless of their place/country origins. This benefit makes our advanced professional training available for students in a most affordable fashion.

Customized curriculum

The program provides comprehensive training to update students’ professional knowledge in areas such as business strategy, global business, innovative management, marketing, information systems, project design, and modern financial management. With input from students at the start of study, the program is customized to specific needs, career objectives, and professional backgrounds of students.

Flexible delivery format

The program gives significant consideration to time- and place-bound individuals. Relying on a mixture of synchronous and asynchronous course delivery formats helps working individuals complete their study efficiently and conveniently. While utilizing website instruction, video conferencing, satellite teaching, in conjunction with individualized studies, the program conducts onsite face-to-face teaching. The classes meet 5 times per term on Wednesday evenings. This is not an on-line delivery method but a live delivery method located at off-site locations throughout state, as enrollment allows.  Students are able to get help from instructors through electronic communication at all times, making it an attractive alternative to the more traditional programs. This program is available on campus, and *possibly* (dependent upon enrollment) at the following on-site locations: Hermiston, Ontario and Clackamas, Oregon areas, on a rotating basis. On-site locations are determined by enrollment, and are not guaranteed.

Applied approach

The program places a particular emphasis on the application of inter-disciplinary learning with its case - and project - intensive training methods. Students undertake case analyses, hands-on projects, and simulation exercises. They also have the opportunity to conduct real business consultation, project design, and strategy development. Upon completion of study, participants will have built up a whole repertoire of applied skills and techniques in major areas of modern management.
