Each July, the University of Wisconsin and the city of Madison become home to credit union professionals who are investing in their careers and credit unions by attending the credit union movement's longest-running high-level educational program.
The CUNA Management School program builds dynamic leaders with a rigorous blend of university classes and experiential learning activities.
What's it all about?
You've heard the saying "nothing worthwhile in life comes easy." Well, that's especially true when it comes to effective leadership. It takes time, skill, understanding, and the ability to constantly move forward. In cooperation with the University of Wisconsin Graduate School of Business, this intensive management program helps you learn and implement principles that make you a more dynamic and effective manager and leader.
Entering its 54th year, CUNA Management School has a well-earned reputation as an outstanding three-year executive education program that has prepared nearly 4,500 students. See stories about CUNA Management School graduates now!
CUNA Management School is designed specifically for credit union management personnel who aspire to achieve senior-level management and leadership positions in the credit union system. As a CUNA Management School student, you receive advanced academic training with practical, real-world applications that prove invaluable upon returning to your credit unions. You'll attend classes for three two-week terms over consecutive summers. In addition to on-site sessions, students must satisfactorily complete a comprehensive exam at the end of each term and two written projects during the three year period.
CUNA Management School is your next step toward professional growth and a position of executive leadership. Many graduates go on to hold high-level positions at state and national levels with credit unions and credit union professional organizations. A graduation diploma is issued in conjunction with the University of Wisconsin Graduate School of Business and is recognized throughout the credit union movement as an honor and mark of accomplishment.
Students stay at the University of Wisconsin's Newell Smith Residence Hall, providing an excellent source of student networking opportunities. Classes meet a short distance away at Grainger Hall and other university facilities.
