Executive Education and Professional Development
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. Programs are held at the University of St. Thomas Minneapolis Campus.
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:
“One point in my public life: I did all I could for the reform of the civil service, for the building up of the South, for a sound currency, etc., etc., but I never forgot my party.... I knew that all good measures would suffer if my Administration was followed by the defeat of my party. Result, a great victory in 1880. Executive and legislature both completely Republican.”
—Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)
“I am not describing a distant utopia, but the kind of education which must be the great urgent work of our time. By the end of this decade, unless the work is well along, our opportunity will have slipped by.”
—Lyndon Baines Johnson (1908–1973)
“Virtue and vice suppose the freedom to choose between good and evil; but what can be the morals of a woman who is not even in possession of herself, who has nothing of her own, and who all her life has been trained to extricate herself from the arbitrary by ruse, from constraint by using her charms?... As long as she is subject to man’s yoke or to prejudice, as long as she receives no professional education, as long as she is deprived of her civil rights, there can be no moral law for her!”
—Flora Tristan (1803–1844)
“The work of adult life is not easy. As in childhood, each step presents not only new tasks of development but requires a letting go of the techniques that worked before. With each passage some magic must be given up, some cherished illusion of safety and comfortably familiar sense of self must be cast off, to allow for the greater expansion of our distinctiveness.”
—Gail Sheehy (20th century)
