Do you think its worthy to do a professional program at your university? what does that need to do so? and for business school, what type of courses you believe would attract managers in the fast-paced 2015 evolutions? Thank you so much for sharing your opinions and ideas. Yours,
Dear Ra'ed. Perhaps could be helpful to clarify what type of professional program you are talking about.
If you are talking about a TV professional program, I do not see the reason to have it 24 hours. If we are talking about a teaching program, I do not think that is a good idea to have 24 hour classes. This is an impossible task.
If a university wish to draw the attention of the industry, then their programs should not only be of high quality, but should respond to the industry needs and includes the teaching of the most advanced management modern methods, the use of new technologies, identify the future areas of interest of the industry, have a good research program and a close relation with the industry, among others.

Every academic programme must have its own duration. It may depend upon the policy offering university and the efforts put by the learner. A learner must get the opportunity to complete the programme as soon as he secure the (minimum) requirements of that programme. There is no point in setting a minimum duration for any academic programme
But, I don't know whether there is any professional academic programme/course that can be completed in a single day. As Prof. Pedraza rightly pointed out, professional courses must be industry oriented and a lot of training required for a student in this direction. I think the completion of professional programme in a single day is practically impossible.
There are many requirements to conduct and complete professional program(s) in any University/Institute. I doubt it can be completed in a single day i.e. within 24 hours.
However, a small issue based professional program or consultancy program may be completed in a day if this is the part of a bigger or already running program.
Industry requirement and individual's (manager's) required inputs are different. Today business is global and has various variables affecting it. Right from cross-culture, management practices, behaviour and ethnically etc., as managerial inputs; best practices, effective turn-arounds, waste management, improving resource operations, etc.,as activity management: business
Providing professional program within 24 credit hours at a university will be tiring for both the instructors & the "learners". It is well-known that a good percentage of new received knowledge requires time to "ripen" within the brain. If information is given in a hasty manner, it will be "easy come,easy go" and I bet that most of it will be forgotten within a short period of time.
