What are the prerequisites for this program?
Applied Management Principles, or AMP, is a mini-MBA program geared towards business professionals taking on or aspiring to a higher-level leadership position. AMP is open to all those who would benefit from courses on accounting, leadership, marketing, negotiations, strategy, and more. There is no minimum number of years an AMP participant must have worked in a particular field, and an undergraduate degree is not required.

The program begins and ends with “bookends” – sessions in which you develop personal goals and expectations and create a plan for using what you’ve learned in AMP.
