On the TRDEV-L listserv, Brian Wilson (a subscriber to this list) asked if "anyone ever used Bricker's University-Based Executive Programs book (from Peterson's) as a reference tool for continuing education?" In the hope that it may help someone on this list, I am sharing my response to Brian: I have -- but we have programming that's included in the directory. We also have a copy of the directory. Other directories are also available. They include: 1) The Corporate University Evaluation Guide to Executive Programs, and The Corporate University Guide to Management Seminars, both from The Corp. U. Press, a Division of HRSoft. 2) The Seminar Information Service Workbook, from Seminar Information Service 3) Professional Education Guides, Vol. I (Executive Programs, MBA Programs, Consortia & Forums), Vol. II (Management Seminars), and Vol. III (Customized/In-house Executive Ed. Courses, Consultants and Executive Training Software), all by ARK Company. 4) "Which Executive Programme? A critical guide to the world's best management development courses.", by The Economist Intelligence Unit (UK). And there are others. In addition, there are WWW sources of programming data. Links to most of these sources are available at the "Miami Links -- Management & Executive Development" web page, at: http://www.muohio.edu/~wheeleba/mgtexdev.htmlx If you know of some university-based centers that offer programs of interest to you, or just want to see what such centers are doing -- the web page "Miami Links -- University-based Centers for Management and Executive Development" has links to over 80 such centers from around the world at: http://www.muohio.edu/~wheeleba/centers.htmlx If you know of additional links that should be added to either page, please send me a private message, and I'll check out the site for possible inclusion.
