The program is based entirely on experiential learning, featuring intensive 90-hour work weeks where students stand in the shoes of the entrepreneur in over 300 case studies, run real assembly lines and must sell products door to door in order to graduate. The Princeton Review ranks Acton as one of the top 10 MBA “Classroom Experiences” in the country and its teachers among the top 5 MBA faculties in the nation. Business Week’s ‘Best B-Schools’ edition says “Acton puts a premium on learning by doing… Half the length of traditional programs, Acton’s one-year stint radically intensifies the learning experience.” Forbes says “Acton is a radically different MBA program… different from the ground up. To pass, you have to complete real-life assignments.”     Accreditation Information: Association of Colleges of Business School Programs  # Of Credits Required:   Time To Degree:     Previous Degrees   Pre-Requisite Courses International Student Requirements All Acton applicants must be able to fluently read, write and communicate in English.
