At Acton MBA, personal characteristics are far more important than any credentials or degrees. We want extraordinary applicants who have the INTELLIGENCE, INTEGRITY and DRIVE to change the world.

Students who will pursue their highest talents and deepest desires; those who will find a way to contribute meaningfully by leaving a legacy and who thrive as the workload increases and refuse to give up, even when faced with overwhelming challenges.
