Advanced Management Program

An Advanced Management Program (AMP) is an intensive non-degree senior executive education program often offered by elite business schools and aimed at senior managers and government officials. It is offered by business schools in several parts of the world, including North America, Europe, India, and Australia. Participants usually have at least 15 years of management experience and are within one or two levels of the C-suite. Such programs exclude the core curriculum of MBA and Executive MBA programs because, according to the Wall Street Journal, "these students are well beyond that fare." Instead, Advanced Management Programs focus on teaching "how to lead ... and the fine art of executing a vision." The Columbia Business School AMP, for example, is built on three pillars: Leading authentically, thinking strategically, and executing dynamically. Advanced Management Programs are usually highly selective. Business schools only offer them at most twice per year and generally limit class sizes to no more than 50 students. Admission to Advanced Management Programs, rather than being based on academics or standardized test scores, is based instead on testing, management seniority, and workplace accomplishments. In 2008, Advanced Management Programs generally cost within the range of US$50,000-$98,000 at top business schools, and 95% of students were sponsored by their employers.…
