A Transformative Experience With a Talented Cohort
Our program attracts students from a broad range of industries and job functions.
We believe there is no substitute for diversity in the classroom. By sharing their unique perspectives, every student in our program makes a valuable contribution to the cohort and inspires others with new ways of thinking.

The Cohort Is Key
The faculty is world-class, but the key to the program is the cohort experience. You’ll build a deep, diverse, and close-knit network of peers—the kind that can only arise through a shared commitment to learning."

Challenge Your Perspective
Something that was unexpected for me was the range of ages. We'd have crazy diversity of thoughts professionally, age-wise, family-wise. It brought a level of perspective to discussions that I wasn't expecting."
