During the calls Chris helps you with ANY business or investing or start-up or personal growth questions that you have, including improving your LinkedIn profile, getting a job, asking for a raise, helping with an interview or a presentation or your business and much more!

What if I am unhappy with the MBA program?
There is a 30 day 100% money-back guarantee. You have nothing to lose and everything to gain!
Is the MBA Degree Program accredited?
No. Chris Haroun does not allow any organization to offer an accreditation for this program. The program is based on real life practical experience (and, unlike many MBA schools, the program is not based on theory, as theoretical business education concepts are often difficult to apply in the real world). This course is not accredited by any U.S. or international educational (or governmental) board or agency. Amongst other criteria, an accredited MBA Degree Program requires a governing body to make determinations about its curriculum. Chris believes that traditional university based governing bodies prefer to teach theory, instead of real life practical skills that you can immediately apply to enhance your career.
Can this MBA program help me to get a job or more customers or change careers?
Yes, as long as you apply the principles that are taught in this program. Students in the program have gotten jobs at the Associate (post MBA) level at Goldman Sachs working in investment banking in New York as well as at McKinsey, Google, the Boston Consulting Group, Salesforce, the venture capital sector and many other top companies. One student just raised $11mn for his startup. Many students in the program have also gotten raises and promotions and more customers by applying the concepts taught in the program.

You will learn all of the aforementioned topics and MUCH more in the Haroun Education Ventures MBA Degree Program. The Haroun Education Ventures MBA Degree Program will always remain up to date and will only teach students concepts that are based on Chris’ real life practical experience (Chris has started many companies, he worked at Goldman Sachs, in Venture Capital, at Hedge Funds and in the Consulting sector; he also has an MBA from Columbia University).

What do I need to take the classes?
You will need internet access, a laptop or a desktop computer or a tablet or any type of smart-phone. Access to Microsoft Excel is recommended.
How long do I have access to all 500 hours of classes? Do I get access to new content too?
You get access to all 500 hours of classes online forever! You also get new content every year that Chris adds to the MBA program for free. He adds at least 30 hours of new content every year to the program. He will continue to add new content that will ensure that the program is always up to date.
Do I need to quit my job and take the degree full-time ?
Absolutely not. You can take this MBA degree program on your own terms and on any device. You have access to the 500 hours of content and new materials published every year forever.
Is there a lot of homework? Do I have to watch all 500 hours of classes and do I need to take all 100 quizzes?
The only homework is a short multiple-choice quiz after all 100 classes, that should take you less than 10 minutes to complete. Chris Haroun believes that students should learn in class and as a result, there are many exercises that students complete in class. There is a different downloadable workbook that students can download and use in every single class. The workbooks are in 3 different formats, including PDF, Microsoft Word and Google Docs (all 3 formats contain the same contents). You can view and complete the exercises in the workbooks on a desktop or on a laptop or on a tablet or even on your cell phone. There are 100 classes that are 3 hours long on average . As mentioned, each class has a short quiz. In order to receive the MBA degree, you only need to take 50 of the 100 quizzes with a grade over 50%. The curriculum is set up this way because not all students are interested in taking all of the Finance & Accounting, Sales, Marketing & Communication, Entrepreneurship, Economics, Management & Strategy Personal Growth and optional Computer Programming classes. This is your MBA on your terms.
Do I need a university degree to apply?
No. Everyone is welcome to join. If you already have an MBA, you are also welcome to join us.

People from many countries and many different backgrounds have taken this MBA Degree Program; many are doctors, engineers, Yoga instructors, young, older, etc. Everyone is welcome to join and everyone can materially benefit from the program (or your money back - you have 30 days to get 100% of your money back)! No prior business or finance or accounting experience or knowledge is required.
