SAN FRANCISCO, April 20, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Haroun Education Ventures, a top online MBA degree program taught by award-winning MBA professor Chris Haroun, today announced its 7th Annual Gold and Platinum MBA Degree Program will begin on May 1, 2023. The one-year program teaches practical business concepts that are often overlooked in traditional MBA programs.
Chris designed the Haroun Gold MBA Degree Program and Haroun Platinum MBA Degree Program with the mission of helping his students take their careers to the next level. Having earned his own MBA from Columbia University, and through hours of research and teaching, he realized the MBA programs from top schools mainly take a theoretical approach, which can be hard to apply in the real world. In addition, traditional MBA programs are expensive with the average MBA costing $61,800. By comparison, an MBA from Harvard Business School is estimated to cost $112,760.
A more practical approach to an MBA education
Chris believed there had to be a way to impart the same level of knowledge, with practical applications, at a fraction of the price, and that could be completed as each student’s schedule allowed. With these goals in mind, Chris created the Haroun Education Ventures MBA Degree program, investing $1,000,000 in building and creating a program that teaches crucial business concepts that are not taught in MBA schools. The program leverages Chris’s vast range of business and educational experience, including his time as a coder at Accenture and in finance positions at Goldman Sachs, hedge funds, and within venture capital.
There are six pillars to the program: Finance and Accounting; Entrepreneurship; Sales, Marketing, and Communications; Economics, Management and Strategy; Personal Growth; and Technology. Through these six pillars, students of the Haroun Education Ventures MBA programs learn how to network; how to find customers; how to present; how to write business plans/documents; how to become CEO of 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 code from scratch; a masterclass in Excel, and much more. The Haroun Education Ventures MBA Gold and Platinum programs contain more than 300 hours of videos and more than 200 hours of live Q&A during class. Platinum students also receive three hours of personal coaching.
“I am truly passionate about education and want all of my students to leave the Haroun Education Ventures MBA Degree Program with practical skills to immediately enhance their careers,” said Chris Haroun, founder and CEO of Haroun Education Ventures. “This is the main reason we have intentionally not sought accreditation. Our program is not based on theory alone, like most MBA schools, and because of this, our students tend to leave our program more competitive than MBA graduates of other universities.”
Haroun Gold and Platinum MBA Degree Programs are now accepting new students
Both the Haroun Gold ($999) and Platinum ($1,499) level MBA Degree programs are currently accepting new students, on a first-come, first-serve basis. Space is limited and once classes are full, new students will not be accepted. Classes begin May 1, 2023 and conclude in April 2024.
