Teaching and Learning in EMIS
How you learn is an important as what we teach you. The “how” challenges your assumptions about private and public workspaces, career enhancement, and professionally engaging the globe’s affairs. We live in dymanic times that require new ways to think and to explore human learning, creativity and knowledge. Our goal: place human growth – personal, academic, and professional – at the center of what we do and how we view the world.
