traditional salaried professor. Acton’s programs are driven by successful entrepreneurs who volunteer their time to teaching. They aren’t worried about tenure or research, only teaching students how to run a business. This program isn’t like any MBA program you’ve seen (or heard of). Matriculation starts in August and you’re done by the following May. But don’t get any ideas that this program is easy. Students spend 80 to 100 hours a week in the program. There is no time for employment or many other life distractions. Well, you actually get a couple of hours each day for “family time.” Classes are focused on cases, each of which requires hours of individual concentration and preparation. These cases are heavily debated in study groups, designed to throw you in the middle of the entrepreneurial battle, and teach you the
struggle of real life-or-death decisions that build businesses. While this program may sound a little too untraditional, it is a part of Hardin-Simmons University. Hardin-Simmons is accredited by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools (SACS) and the Association of Collegiate Business Schools and Programs (ACBSP).
The MBA is still the hottest degree in the academic world. With such a designation, the MBA is afforded its own opportunities for growth; that is, to grow into some unique specializations designed to support new and growing markets. The MBA will continue these types of transformations as business finds new ways to use its business skills and universities develop new ways to serve these needs. No matter how you look at it, the MBA has a career too.
