Choose your immersions
During the program you’ll take part in two immersions, where you’ll connect with your online peers and faculty in person at a U.S. or international location. You’ll visit local businesses and industry sites, collaborate on real-world business problems with your classmates, and build your network. You can select the locations and topics based on what best matches your interests.*
*Immersions may require additional fees.
Choose your timeframe
Each quarter, you can choose the number of courses you want to take.
If you’re anticipating a busy quarter outside of school, take one class. If you want to immerse yourself and finish quickly, you can take up to four classes to operate as a full-time student.
We offer four entry points to the program each year, so there’s no need to wait—you can start as soon as you’re ready.

“My immersion experience was unlike anything I have experienced from a school program before. I had the ability to network with other students in my cohort, challenge myself to think about a current opportunity in my company and then present that idea to a group of people who offered valuable feedback.”
