A Multifaceted Curriculum

The CBA program is based on tools and services supplied by Harvard Business School Publishing. It also utilizes the renowned Case Learning Method pioneered by Harvard Business School.

With this highly interactive approach, genuine case studies are combined with online resources, practice activities, checklists, self-assessments, and expert feedback to provide an engaging and impactful learning experience. Our elite instructors integrate the proven Case Learning Method with stimulating lectures to create optimal opportunities for learning.

The CBA program also includes an enjoyable, eye-opening study tour to Cambridge in Boston, Massachusetts, USA.
