The 12-Week MBA is co-developed by Abilitie and TED, the global platform behind some of the most powerful and widely watched ideas in business, leadership, and human potential.
Throughout the program, carefully selected TED video content is woven into your learning experience, to deepen your thinking on the concepts you're working through in class, and to challenge the way you see your role as a leader.
At the end of the 12 week program, your cohort comes together for a two-day, in-person event in a global hub such as Berlin or Dubai. This is where connections become friendships, ideas become opportunities, and the experience becomes unforgettable. You will enjoy dinners, workshops, and conversations with ambitious professionals from around the world, all in some of the most dynamic business cities on the planet. A virtual option is also available for participants who are unable to travel.
The 12-Week MBA experience is a high-rigor, online certificate program developed by Abilitie and TED. To ensure our students meet the highest professional standards, we have partnered with St. Edward’s University, a selective, top-ranked university, to provide formal academic recognition through St. Edward’s innovative Professional Studies programming.
As a result, each 12-Week MBA student receives an accelerated graduate-level certificate reviewed and validated by a globally recognized academic institution.
