Programme Structure

The program is intended to be flexible for participants from all over the world. Students can continue to work as they complete both classroom and online instruction, and are able to choose between two program formats, depending on their work commitments: 


  • In the Traditional Executive Program, participants complete intensive two-week sessions on the Chicago and Madrid campuses in addition to online coursework. The format allows students to earn their degree while taking minimal time away from their other obligations.

  • Other participants may choose the Residential Option in Chicago, geared towards those who can or wish to take more extended time away from work. Students who choose this option will complete the first semester of work in the Traditional Executive Program, and then spend the Spring semester (January-May) in residence at Northwestern.
