HOW THE ACTON MBA IS DIFFERENT FROM A TRADITIONAL MBA
Traditional MBA’s train people to recite jargon and theory, whether they understand it or not. Acton MBA equips you with timeless tools, competencies, and habits; at the same time, it will help you develop the attitudes, criteria needed to make better decisions and will sharpen your judgment to have greater impact in the real world of business.
The Acton MBA is designed to take you through the life cycle of a business. A traditional MBA will force you to specialize, and learn to think in silos, missing the big picture of strategic decision-making and, cross-sectional execution. Acton MBA is the go-to program for Entrepreneurs, Family Business Owners, Innovators, Professionals, and Investors.
At Acton MBA, Teachers are successful entrepreneurs, they've mastered the lifecycle of a business. They will push you to ask yourself the right questions and tackle the hardest problems practicing the principles that separate success from failure. Traditional MBA’s rely on theories and books. They will teach you from academic proficiency, instead of from real-world practice.
Last but not least, at Acton MBA, cases are taught as flight simulators in which students face real-world problems, discuss diligently and, finally propose down-to-earth, actionable, and valuable solutions. In traditional MBA's, cases are used as lecture enablers in which teachers show their academic expertise and usually propose generic one-size-fits-all solutions.
At Acton MBA, we are committed that by graduation our students will be able to:

At Acton, learning is not a series of tests to be passed, but rather the start of a lifelong journey. Learning at Acton starts with humble curiosity reinforced by crisp logic. This leads to decisions, experimentation, mistakes, and better decisions. Eventually, this way of learning becomes a deep-seated habit that will help form your character and lead you to your destiny.
Instead of teaching what to think, you will be taught how to think independently. At Acton MBA we are committed to solve problems by asking the right questions, examining evidence, and proposing actionable strategies.
Textbooks, mere theories, and meaningless electives? They’re not for people like you. You want to be a big player in business—and that means you need a curriculum built by big players. A curriculum that’ll throw you squarely in the middle of an entrepreneurial battle, force you to make tough decisions on the fly and compel you to prove you’ve got the character it takes to make life-or-death decisions regarding your business.
If so, come and prove yourself to become a master entrepreneur, learn how to build businesses that change the world, and get in on the ground floor of an MBA that is changing business education as we know it.
