Management Development Program (MDP)

Our Management Development Program (MDP) is focused on industry professionals of diverse backgrounds. While the MDP career path may eventually lead to skills in sales and marketing, brand management, training and recruiting, and finance, the primary purpose is to develop meaningful partnerships between academia and industry. MDP is designed to provide new perspectives and practical insights for professionals who must "manage from the middle."

By encouraging you to think outside the confines of your area of formal administrative responsibility, MDP helps you learn how to lead in ways that support larger institutional objectives. In addition, by providing a more sophisticated understanding of how different institutional units function, MDP enables you to incorporate broader strategic considerations into management decisions.
