The two classes I was originally taking were Exploring Marketing (EM) and Advanced Studies in Hospitality Management (ASHM). They were the only classes that related to my major and that I had not already taken in college. The first class (EM), is a basic level marketing class which i did take in college. The difference is that this class takes all those basic marketing principals, and shows how Disney applies those principals in everything they do. The other class is about applying leadership and management through group projects.
That is honestly all i can tell you about that class because I only went to two classes before I dropped it. There were several reasons for dropping that class.
The first is that i made the silly decision to take both my DCP classes on the same day. So my one day off a week didn't really feel like a day off because I was in class literally all day. Also the class was 4 hours long, a group project and required papers to write. Committing to those things was just something I could not do. Someone else might be able to, but not me.
I'm sticking to the other class because it directly relates to my major and I have found it really interesting thus far. I've been getting some solid notes out of it and I'm honestly fascinated by the way the Walt Disney Company thinks. The only down side is that it is at 8:30 am. It's still later than my earliest classes at ORU but it is still early. And it makes it really hard to pick up shifts on my day off because in my role, 98% of the shifts start between 7:30 am and 9 am (at least at DAK).
But like I said, so far I am enjoying the class. If you are interested in either of these classes (which i totally recommend taking both if you can), here are some short videos explaining so much more about them than i can at this point.
