What Makes Our School Unique

  The Acton School of Business, located in Austin, Texas, is a one-year MBA in Entrepreneurship program taught exclusively by successful, practicing entrepreneurs. 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 student-faculty ratio is lower than any MBA program in the country, allowing students to develop strong bonds with their entrepreneur-teachers. The Princeton Review has ranked Acton’s teachers among the top five MBA faculties in the country for the past 4 year and rates Acton as one of the “Best Classroom Experiences” in the nation.
