Pre-Curriculum
Prior to the program start, preparatory courses in Quantitative Skills and in Accounting Methods are held on Saturday/Sunday weekends. These refresher courses help students become comfortable with concepts that are introduced early in the curriculum. In the quantitative prep course, we review the math needed for the program and we hit Excel hard. Prep courses, though optional, are highly recommended for all incoming students.

The Orientation and Team Building weekend is mandatory for students. Spouses and significant others are invited to join the class for Orientation.

Curriculum
The lock-step curriculum begins in Houston in January 2008 and continues through the International Seminar. Classes are primarily held on Fridays and Saturdays of alternate weekends. An intensive weeklong session is held in the first term and a second intensive week is held in the second year on New Orleans campus. The program culminates with an 8-day international seminar. Students graduate in August 2009.
