01/24/2005
Austin, Texas – The Acton MBA in Entrepreneurship program announced today that, along with Babson College, it will present an Executive Education session Feb. 17-18 at the Acton MBA classroom.
The 2-day workshop will feature faculty from both Acton and Babson, which offer two of the most highly decorated MBA programs in the higher education industry.
The Princeton Review recently ranked the Acton MBA in Entrepreneurship program the third-best MBA faculty in the country, while designating its MBA students as America’s “most competitive.”
Similarly, U.S. News and World Report named Babson the best MBA program in the country as it relates to entrepreneurship. Babson has also been praised by Business Week, The Wall Street Journal and the Princeton Review.
“This is a partnership of historical proportions,” said Rob Adams, who is an Acton instructor and a Babson alumnus. “I’m excited that we have been able to offer this unique educational experience to entrepreneurs in Austin.”
Among the topics that will be addressed are sessions on “how entrepreneurs should set priorities” and “how staging capital and other deals can expand the pie.”
