FUQUA TAILORS EXECUTIVE EDUCATION PROGRAMS TO SUIT INDIVIDUAL ORGANIZATIONS<br />
Three years ago, <strong>Fuqua</strong> decided to complement its general<br />
management non-degree executive education programs with<br />
aselection <strong>of</strong> specialized courses.These highly focused courses<br />
develop specific skills in areas such as finance, accounting,<br />
leadership, strategy and marketing.<br />
Now, in response to growing demand, <strong>Fuqua</strong>’s top-ranked<br />
executive education <strong>of</strong>fers tailored versions <strong>of</strong> these specialized<br />
courses adapted for individual organizations.<br />
Added Flexibility<br />
For <strong>Fuqua</strong> to remain a top provider <strong>of</strong> executive education, it<br />
must keep pace with market demand. Interest in flexible,<br />
adapted solutions continues to grow, and organizations are<br />
discovering that tailored programs delivered to groups<br />
<strong>of</strong> managers and executives can provide a quick, efficient<br />
return on investment. And adapting a program from a wellestablished<br />
course is frequently more economical than trying<br />
to develop a completely custom solution. <strong>Fuqua</strong> has developed<br />
tailored versions <strong>of</strong> its leadership programs for the<br />
telecommunications industry, health care associations, the<br />
pharmaceutical industry and the United States Department<br />
<strong>of</strong> Justice.<br />
Another advantage <strong>of</strong> tailored programs is location flexibility.<br />
A program tailored for a specific organization can be<br />
delivered at the organization’s headquarters, <strong>Duke</strong>’s R. David<br />
Thomas Center or any location in the world convenient for<br />
the organization.<br />
Variety <strong>of</strong> Courses<br />
Each <strong>of</strong> <strong>Fuqua</strong>’s non-degree programs can be adapted for<br />
specific organizations. At the core <strong>of</strong> <strong>Fuqua</strong>’s non-degree<br />
executive education is the Advanced Management Program, a<br />
multi-week general management course designed to advance<br />
participants’ leadership abilities through personal development<br />
activities that improve management skills and<br />
