The University of St. Thomas Opus College of Business has more than 200 lifelong learning opportunities outside of its traditional degree programs.
Executive Education and Professional Development is the non-degree division of the University of St. Thomas Opus College of Business. They offer Executive Education and Professional Development Programs to business professionals in a variety of industries specializing in business communication, financial management, general business, health care, leadership, marketing, nonprofit management, and operations including project management.

Executive Education Programs are designed for current and emerging leaders (“high-potentials”) who will be taking on larger roles. Executive education prepares them to: transform vision into reality; collaborate with and inspire teams to achieve extraordinary results; make highly principled, globally focused business decisions; drive business growth; and become a prominent driving force behind their organization’s mission, vision and brand.
Professional Development Programs serve the needs of individual contributors, supervisors, managers and those who want to advance their careers, enhance their leadership capacity and achieve personal growth. Professional development programs help learners understand how to turn the latest theories and cutting-edge research into practical, on-the-job applications. Some professional development programs include the Mini MBA Program, Mini MBA in Health Care Management, Mini Master of Marketing Management, Mini Master of Business Communication, Mini Master of Project Management, Leadership Essentials Series, and Project Management Certificate Series.
Custom Programs are also available to help businesses and nonprofit organizations to successfully achieve their strategic goals and objectives.
Instructional methods for executive education, professional development, and custom programs may include: interactive learning, case method, individual and group projects, small group discussion, simulations, executive coaching, and video coaching. Instructors are credentialed faculty, thought-leaders, and accomplished practitioners in their fields. The University of St. Thomas requires that executive education, professional development, and custom program instructors be experts at translating current research into actionable information and able to achieve exceptional learning outcomes.

Famous quotes containing the words executive, education, professional and/or development:
“To me the sole hope of human salvation lies in teaching Man to regard himself as an experiment in the realization of God, to regard his hands as God’s hand, his brain as God’s brain, his purpose as God’s purpose. He must regard God as a helpless Longing, which longed him into existence by its desperate need for an executive organ.”
—George Bernard Shaw (1856–1950)
“He was the product of an English public school and university. He was, moreover, a modern product of those seats of athletic exercise. He had little education and highly developed muscles—that is to say, he was no scholar, but essentially a gentleman.”
—H. Seton Merriman (1862–1903)
“I trust it will not be giving away professional secrets to say that many readers would be surprised, perhaps shocked, at the questions which some newspaper editors will put to a defenseless woman under the guise of flattery.”
—Kate Chopin (1851–1904)
“The man, or the boy, in his development is psychologically deterred from incorporating serving characteristics by an easily observable fact: there are already people around who are clearly meant to serve and they are girls and women. To perform the activities these people are doing is to risk being, and being thought of, and thinking of oneself, as a woman. This has been made a terrifying prospect and has been made to constitute a major threat to masculine identity.”
—Jean Baker Miller (20th century)
