Leadership & Professional Development Curriculum

The Leadership and Professional Development Curriculum is ground-breaking. We subscribe to a belief that is based on critical thinking skills, a strong sense of values, and the ability to communicate. This is the basis for College’s mantra: Think, Value, Communicate, Lead.

In addition to teaching the “nuts and bolts” of business, we help students become true business professionals and leaders. The Leadership and Professional Development Curriculum is the first of its kind and is meant to prepare students for the realities of their future in the business world.
