Students at Southeast Management School enjoy academic teachings with direct credit union application. The three-year program which takes place at the University of Georgia’s Center for Continuing Education, one week per year, develops operational, managerial, and leadership skills. Students also benefit from working side-by-side with current and future leaders in the credit union movement as well as revered academic faculty. When students are off campus, they complete two annual projects, including a detailed quantitative and qualitative analysis of their credit union.
