UCLA Approved

Our course curriculum is developed in cooperation with the UCLA Anderson School of Management

The Anderson School of Management is consistently ranked among the top tier business school programs in the country, based on rankings published by U.S. News & World Report, Businessweek.

It is my firm belief that our program is top-notch because of a wonderful combination of two ingredients. The first is the passion our instructors display for teaching; the second is the excellent quality of the students who enroll in our courses.
