Typically, 1-2 vSeries seminars are offered each month with most consuming a single back-to-back Friday/Saturday. Classes are held in the Rauch Conference Center on the Lehigh University campus. Course binders are mailed to students one month in advance. Pre-class and post-class assignments are the rule for MBA candidates taking vSeries courses for credit.

vSeries Professors make extensive use of the socratic method and real world illustration to stimulate creative thinking and facilitate close one-on-one interaction. Outside experts and opinion leaders are an integral part of each vSeries seminar. These highly distinguished classroom visitors move analysis and discussion to new heights by focusing on specific subjects and relying on their own firsthand experiences to cement learning.
