The word is out: Abilitie’s 12-Week MBA program delivers.
Business education reimagined
The 12-Week MBA teaches the core set of business skills that all rising business leaders need regardless of their industry, function, or level. You can learn these core skills—value creation, people leadership, and decision-making—in less time and at a lower cost than in a traditional two-year MBA program, where the typical content becomes obsolete when students graduate.
