Collegiate Courses
All of the collegiate offerings are recommended for credit by the American Council on Education. Each of these courses is focused around an area of expertise within The Walt Disney Company and contains levels of academic rigor not uncommon to the classes you take at your own college or university. Participants will have required textbooks to read, papers to write and special projects to complete. The difference is that participants will be able to apply this knowledge immediately at their work location.
*These collegiate offerings are available at the Disneyland® Resort. All of the courses listed above are available at the Walt Disney World® Resort.
Seminar Offerings
All of the seminar offerings provide an overview of the various aspects of operation within areas of Walt Disney Parks and Resorts. Many of these sessions include guest speakers, field experiences and activities to highlight our diverse lines of business. Based upon each participants program location, and program length, will depend upon which classes may be available.
