Posted on: Monday, 16 October 2006, 12:01 CDT
AUSTIN, Texas, Oct. 16 /PRNewswire/ -- In this week's print edition of BusinessWeek's Best Business Schools of 2006, The Acton MBA in Entrepreneurship is touted for its innovative program and entrepreneur professors.
Reporter Amy Barrett notes, "[The] Acton program is certainly a departure. For starters, all professors must run a business. Compensation for professors is based in large part on student ratings."
"Half the length of traditional MBA programs, Acton's one-year stint radically intensifies the learning experience," continues the article. "Acton puts a premium on learning by doing. All students need to sell a real product as part of one class. And all must help run an assembly line that manufactures circuit boards."
Acton's newest initiative, which offers students a money-back guarantee, is also highlighted in the article. Acton's Fellowship program allows students to follow their calling "without crippling loan payments."
"Acton is the only entrepreneurship program of its kind in the country," says Acton's Executive Director, Georgia Spaeth. "We are pleased that BusinessWeek chose to feature us."
Based in Austin, Texas, The Acton MBA in Entrepreneurship is offered through Hardin-Simmons University.
