Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between the Haroun Education Ventures MBA Degree Program® and other MBA programs...and what will I learn?

Most MBA programs teach theoretical concepts that are not applicable in the real world. Many of the most crucial business concepts are not taught in MBA schools, including how to network, how to find customers, how to present, how to write business documents, how to become CEO in a large company, how to sell, how to get a job, how to manage your own money, how to start and grow a company, how to use social media to grow your business, how to make videos to sell yourself and your products and what the best practices are of the most successful business people in history.

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).

Upon completion of the Haroun Education Ventures MBA Degree Program, students will be more competitive than MBA graduates of other universities as they will learn all major aspects of business from a practical perspective and not based on theoretical concepts that traditional business schools teach. The Haroun Education Ventures MBA Degree Program will teach all major practical topics taught in the best MBA programs and much more. Plus the Haroun Education Venture MBA Degree Program will be FUN and EDUTAINING!!!!

Please scroll down to see the detailed program curriculum and the dates of every class. Classes start on Monday May 6th, 2024 and end on Tuesday, April 8th, 2025. Classes are every Monday and Tuesday from 9am until 12pm Pacific Time. Space is limited.

In addition to the 400+ hours of classes, Chris spends 200+ hours answering questions live during classes.

No problem if you miss classes as you can access all 400+ hours of classes and 200+ hours of live Q&A immediately and forever as they are all saved online.

The minimum amount of time needed is 3 hours per week including homework time. But there is no time limit, so if you complete the MBA over 2 years instead of 1 year, that means 1.5 hours per week (and you don’t need to watch all the lectures live in class if you want as they are all available online, including the Gold & Platinum Class Q and A sessions and including the Gold & Platinum Class office hours.)

There is a short quiz after each class (this is the ONLY homework). There are 100 quizzes in total. The homework is a simple short quiz that you can complete during class time if you want. Also, in order to pass you only need to get a score of 50 percent on half of the 100 quizzes. I designed the curriculum this way because I know that some students are more interested in certain topics.

In terms of the time commitment to watching the classes, you don’t need to attend all classes live if you can’t as there is a replay available online that you can access forever.

There is no time limit on when you complete the Gold MBA as this is your MBA on your terms.

Platinum and Gold students are in the same class. Platinum students receive everything that Gold students receive plus Platinum students receive 3 hours of one on one Zoom meetings with Chris Haroun to help you take your career or business to the next level. The calls are spread out over the year in 20 minute increments (9 meetings times 20 minutes = 3 hours). The meetings are on Mondays, Tuesdays and Thursdays from 1:30pm until 3:30pm Pacific Time. If students have an urgent interview coming up, Chris is happy to do more than just a single 20 minute meeting (meaning we can do back to back to back 20 minute meetings).

You get access to all 400+ hours of classes forever (and all 200 hours of live Q&A 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. Recently her added Real Estate, Excel, Python, Artificial Intelligence and other electives to the program (he was a programmer at Accenture in the 90s). He will continue to add new content that will ensure that the program is always up to date.

Absolutely not. Although live classes (meaning the 300 hours of lessons plus the 200 hours of live Q&A) are on Mondays and Tuesdays from 4pm until 7pm Pacific Time, all sessions are recorded (including all of the Q&A) so you have immediate access to all 500+ hours of content. The Platinum MBA Program starts on Monday, January 27h 2024 and ends on Tuesday, December 16th, 2025.

The only homework is a short multiple-choice quiz after all 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.

As mentioned, each class has a short quiz. In order to receive the MBA degree, you only need to take half of the 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.

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.

Yes you will receive an MBA Degree from Haroun Education Ventures upon completion of the program. Employers will be able to contact [email protected] and verify that students have graduated from the program.

No, you can be anywhere in the world with an internet connection. In fact, what makes this program incredibly interesting is that existing students and graduates of the program come from all over the world. The program is completely online and you will be able to complete it from anywhere in the world (no visa is required).
