00:00 Here at Ohio University we want to help
00:02 our students to become the creative
00:04 high-skilled knowledge workers. These are
00:07 where the best careers are today and
00:08 will be even more importantly in the
00:10 future. This requires that the
00:14 students not just do the tasks that
00:16 they’re assigned but have to offer
00:18 something that’s special, something
00:20 that’s creative, something that creates a
00:21 new process or innovative product. Most
00:24 business education just concentrates on
00:26 teaching the business discipline.
00:28 What we try to do here is teach
00:31 additional skills that are going to be
00:32 absolutely critical. Which, include
00:34 critical thinking entrepreneurship,
00:36 innovation leadership and holistic
00:39 thinkers. There are two reasons that many
00:42 of our students who are currently
00:43 enrolled have come to our program and
00:45 really love it. The first reason is that
00:48 they are people who really want to get
00:50 ahead in the workforce and they’ve
00:52 recognized how the global marketplace is
00:56 changing and they want to gain the
00:57skills to be, you know, creative, high
01:01 knowledge workers who can progress in
01:03 their careers and you know gain more
01:05 control over their own work careers. The
01:09 second reason is because the
01:10 convenience. We know that that you
01:14 have a full-time job, you’re working hard
01:17 and have been very successful and most
01:19 of you have families and so what we’ve
01:21 done is that we offer a hybrid learning
01:24 program which allows you to have the
01:27 internet social interaction, to get the
01:29 deeper learning experiences of working
01:31 with colleagues at the same time. You can
01:34 fit it into your busy schedule by taking
01:36 synchronous classes at home on once or
01:39 twice a month as well as having
01:41 residential experiences on a Saturday
01:43 only once a month
