Ultimate Convenience

This program is designed to be as convenient as possible to allow you to focus on learning and not administrative details. Choose one of two program formats below that fits your life. Books and syllabi are delivered to you prior to the beginning of each course. You'll participate in a retreat to examine personal values and learn team building, and attend special lectures and seminars to learn from experts in the field.

New Castle Weekend Program

This program features “one stop shopping.” Books and syllabi are delivered to students. They participate in a retreat to examine personal values and learn team building, and attend special lectures and seminars where they can learn from experts in the field.

Classes meet over a four-week block. The first weekend, class meets on Friday evenings (6:30 p.m. - 9:30 p.m.) and on Saturdays (9:00 a.m. - 1:00 p.m.) Classes meet for the next three Saturdays from 9:00 a.m. - 1:00 p.m. All other instruction is done online. Students must have access to the Internet and commit to participating in discussion groups over the entire four-week block. Typically, there is a week off between courses. This design allows for completion of the program in 15 months. The unique weekend format is ideal for students who (1) travel during the week on business, (2) have child-care issues, (3) commute long distances to work, (4) cannot leave work in time to attend an evening class on weeknights, or (5) prefer a cohort model and/or weekend classes. Students join a cohort and learn with their peer group for the duration of the program (arrangements may be made for special needs and circumstances).

New Castle and Georgetown Weeknight Program

Classes are held from 5:30 p.m. to 10:30 p.m. one night a week over a seven-week block. Books and syllabi are delivered to students. Students participate in a retreat to examine personal values and learn team building, and attend special lectures and seminars where they can learn from experts in the field. Students join a cohort and learn with their peer group for the duration of the program (arrangements may be made for special needs and circumstances).
