Pedagogical Approach

Teaching methods used in the program include theoretical courses, case studies, field work, lectures by world leaders in international cultural management, and visits to well-known cultural organizations and facilities. A 10-day campus abroad in a fourth country, in South America or Asia, will eventually be added if warranted by the number of students.

Structure and Courses

Student Assessment

Your learning will be assessed by means of a combination of exams, team exercises, group projects, syntheses and/or participation in class. This last element is essential and will be an important component of your evaluation, as your professional and personal experience can greatly enrich the learning of your peers. Accordingly, you will be required to attend every class and to make the necessary personal arrangements to do so. At the beginning of each course, you will be informed of the type and conditions of evaluation (evaluation criteria, relative weight of the different elements of the evaluation).

Graduation

You will be responsible for managing your own orientation within the program. To earn your degree, you must fulfill all the requirements of your program and comply with the regulations and procedures of the ºÚÁÏÀÏ˾»ú in Dallas, HEC Montréal and SDA Bocconi in Milan.

Assistance with Job Placement

Once you have successfully completed the program, we will assist you, in collaboration with members of the international advisory committee, in finding a position within your target market.
