Course details

The classrooms have a small number of participants enrolled to allow a more intensive student participation during the activities developed in class. The time commitment is about 35 hours of instruction and an estimated 20 hours for readings and assignments. 

The course is offered in two different formats: in-person and blended. 

The in-person format happens over five consecutive days from 9:30 to 16:30. The additional work related to readings and assignments is completed outside the classroom.  

In the blended format, students attend once a week in-person lectures in the mornings. They have to complete online instructional time equivalent to three hours per week at their convenience. In addition, students have to complete readings and homework. 

Students receive a certification upon completion of the course requirements and attendance to lectures.
