Teams for modules 1–5 are assigned at the start of the program in the Organizational Behavior and Leadership course in module 1. Teams are purposefully built to pair you with people who are different from you and you will work in your team in various ways. Elective courses will vary and will require their own specific team formations. These teams will be formed based on the professor’s requirements.
