The principal goal of the program is to widen the horizons of business executives by providing working contacts with men of varied backgrounds of executive experiences.
Enrollment is limited to 22. The men live in Grace Pearson Hall, eat their meals, and hold class in the Student Union.

are expected to study and analyze cases, using assigned reading as background material. The exchange of ideas in class discussion and the practice gained in oral presentation results in valuable learning experience."
One of the distinct features in previous programs has been the lectures on the theater, music, fine arts, and on new developments in education, science and medicine which are given by the university faculty.
The University's Executive Development Program is unique in the Midwest, although 16 similar programs are offered in the eastern and far western parts of the United States.
