Overview
What the MBA is
The ACLAS MBA is built for people who are already working. There are no live class times and no fixed term dates: you start when you are ready, move through eight courses at your own speed, and finish with a master's-level award in business administration.
The curriculum deliberately stays close to the job. Strategy and operations, finance and accounting, human resource management, marketing communication and international business sit alongside a dedicated leadership and team-development course, so the qualification maps onto the decisions managers actually have to make.
Assessment is by multiple-choice quiz, and every course is delivered in English through the ACLAS online campus. Tuition is a single payment of USD 89 — a fraction of the USD 80,000–120,000 that traditional MBA programs commonly cost.
