Executive MOD Program Curriculum

"The BGSU EMOD program allowed me to maintain my work schedule while getting my degree.  Being able to work and attend school simultaneously allowed me to leverage what I was learning in the EMOD program to enhance my work performance.  Because of this, I have advanced in my career and am sought out by my colleagues to contribute to efforts addressing a variety of organizational challenges and opportunities."

- Danyele Harris-Thompson, EMOD Class of 2004
