The Format: Supporting Professional Growth These graduate programs are offered in a convenient accelerated format at Emmanuel’s main campus in Boston or online. On-campus courses meet just one evening per week in seven-week sessions. Online courses are also delivered in seven-week sessions, but in an asynchronous format. The six biopharmaceutical leadership courses are offered in a cohort model with two program starts per year: fall (September) and spring (March). This coursework satisfies the academic requirements needed to earn a Graduate Certificate in Biopharmaceutical Leadership. For those choosing to earn the Master of Science in Management with specialization in Biopharmaceutical Leadership, students begin the five general management courses after completing the biopharmaceutical leadership cohort courses.
