Students will develop strong communication, problem solving and critical-thinking skills as well as effective project management and teambuilding techniques. Students learn to plan complex operations making efficient use of resources. Ethical reasoning and leadership will be emphasized along with strategies for stress management and ongoing personal and professional development.
