ABSTRACT

This chapter examines an example of a long-standing, university-based program designed for senior-level leaders of colleges and universities. Through a detailed description of key design features of this program, the chapter attempts to illustrate some of the key challenges and opportunities associated with effectively meeting the learning needs of individuals who are in the latter stages of the 60-Year Curriculum (60YC) continuum. The chapter concludes with a discussion of the roles that university-based executive education programs could play for this audience in the coming years. Among the challenges discussed is the need for empirical evidence to document the efficacy of these types of programs; that might support continued investments in this type of learning experience.
