The McColl School of Business is proud to have the inaugural cohort of its new Master of Science in Executive Coaching program on campus. It's the first of its kind in the United States, and the class of 2013 includes 13 exceptional students from three states and D.C.

"This program is perfect for taking my coaching career to the next level," said student Henry Lescault, who works for the Justice Department in Washington, D.C. He came across the program online and knew it was the right fit after speaking with Director Dr. John Bennett.

"The blend of leadership and coaching is stellar," said Lescault, who already has a coaching certificate. "It’s a very empowering, practical program."

Madelon Capozziello of Charlotte, N.C., quit her job in the health care field to immerse herself in both the MSEC and Master of Science in Organization Development programs. For her, interacting with classmates from a wide range of professional backgrounds has been one of the most valuable parts of the cohort thus far.

“The quality of students makes this an enriching experience," she said. "We can learn as much from each other as the professor."

Classes in the 24-month program meet three times per year for eight consecutive days. Students in the current cohort will be on campus through Saturday, May 14.
