Executive Education
A world of knowledge through professional development.
Our Executive Education programs provide employee development opportunities to help individuals and companies throughout Wisconsin, the United States and the world to lead and solve work-related challenges quickly and successfully. Executive Education’s financial contribution is critical in supporting the Wisconsin School of Business.
We continue to offer the largest number of executive education programs among top-ranked business schools in the United States, serving more than 1,500 companies annually. In the 2006-07 fiscal year, Executive Education units combined to serve nearly 5,000 people in more than 360 public and custom programs.
Over the past year, our public programs experienced a significant increase in revenue, number of programs and enrollments. New courses were developed in project management and in purchasing and supply management.
Specialized custom programs continued to experience steady growth. Building revenue from operation of the Fluno Center for Executive
Education also continued to increase.
