See what our alumni have to say about The 12-Week MBA

I feel immensely equipped from this program. I would call the faculty world-class. They really bring their own real world experiences and make it very applicable. And working with the other students was just a joy and a pleasure. Not only that, it was challenging, because we all came from different backgrounds. It was just a fantastic program.

If I had to put my finger on what I loved, it was the fact that exchanges were bidirectional. The faculty took the time to listen. It's definitely not a dry lecture. I definitely advise people to join, and I advise to engage with the faculty, and also with your cohort.

The 12-Week MBA program lays a foundation for business acumen through simulations and real world case studies. The small group setting was the perfect size, both for learning and networking. Being able to participate while working abroad was extremely beneficial.

Eric Renn, Fall 2021

I learned that I probably will not pursue my full MBA. I was considering it, but I got so much out of this program, that I believe that if I supplement this with another decade of constantly reading business books, I’ll be good.

Unless you see it, hear it, do it … you don’t learn in a way you will remember for the future, when you actually need to apply those skills. The 12-Week MBA did that.

Gina Curran, Fall 2021
