The Institute and The Academy at AMU work in harmony. In their Freshman and Sophomore years, Scholars are provided with a "2x Core" comprised of the Core Curriculum of the Liberal Arts in the classroom and The Institute's Core Suite of Skills that all leaders need. In their Junior and Senior years, Scholars study their Academic Major in the classroom while also gaining specialized skills in The Institute and developing onramps to graduate schools or a job.
Each Module has a professional, cultural, and personal theme that takes 3-5 hours per week... let's take a look at the Business Start-Up Module.
