Two Steams, One Developmental Journey
Although the Digital Acumen and Leadership Acumen streams have distinct areas of emphasis, they are intentionally integrated.
Digital capability enables students to work effectively with technologies, systems and data. Leadership acumen enables them to exercise judgement about how those tools should be used, whose interests are affected and what responsible professional action requires.
Together, the two streams prepare graduates who can not only solve complex business problems, but do so critically, ethically, collaboratively and responsibly.
