Alright, maybe that&#8217;s too far!&rdquo; Kosko laughs. &ldquo;But what if learning were to become something you looked forward to every morning?&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">VentureX MBA teaches the MBA core with a revamped curriculum. Older, inapplicable concepts have been swapped out and replaced with today&rsquo;s most innovative strategies.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">&ldquo;Traditionally, most MBA programs utilize case studies from the Harvard Business Review. These are great, but often outdated and boring to read,&rdquo; Kosko explains. &ldquo;Our case studies come in the form of short videos where you gain nuggets of knowledge right from the source, as we interview the experts directly. It&rsquo;s interesting to watch and the information actually sticks.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The duo first met back in 2015 while working at UCLA Extension&rsquo;s Corporate Programs department, where they created customized business courses for international executives coming to the US.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;\" src=\"https:\/\/www.abnewswire.com\/uploads\/c60beeba9e6554335f015dcc73a059aa.png\" alt=\"\" \/><\/p>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><em>VentureX Co-founders Emily Kosko &amp; Anousheh Shayestepour. (Left to Right)<\/em><\/div>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">&ldquo;We&rsquo;ve realized a lot of global execs come to California for this training because we&rsquo;re at the forefront of business innovation, whether it&rsquo;s entrepreneurship, digital marketing, or strategic thinking. It all starts here. Yet why isn&rsquo;t there a program focused on this? Not just for foreigners but young professionals here as well.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Through Kosko and Shayestehpour involvement in the creation of over 200 programs, they became experts in curriculum development and were responsible for building out some of the institution&rsquo;s most profitable programs. &ldquo;We used to sit through so many business classes that we started to learn what was relevant and what wasn&rsquo;t. And this helped us develop material directly based on today&#8217;s workforce needs.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Although aiming to disrupt it, the co-founders admit there is value in the current higher education model. &ldquo;We&rsquo;re not looking to completely replace the traditional MBA program, as this can be a great tool to advance your career. But we are looking to stir it up, wake it up to what it&rsquo;s missing, and inspire change. Our long-term goal is to eventually partner with institutions to provide our programs as additional learning tools &ndash; resources students can use to help understand complex topics,&rdquo; says Kosko.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Shayestepour holds a doctorate degree in Education, EdD, from UCLA and Kosko an MBA from UCLA Anderson&rsquo;s School of Management.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The first MBA course is set to go live in December but pre-enrollments have already started. Will the program have an impact on higher learning? We&rsquo;ll have to wait and see.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Here&rsquo;s a short&nbsp;<a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/nmgmLTgMZwU\" target=\"_blank\">video<\/a>&nbsp;about the project.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">For more checkout&nbsp;<a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/venturexmba.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">website&nbsp;<\/a>and&nbsp;<a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/venturexschool\/\" target=\"_blank\">instagram<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><span style='font-size:18px !important;'>Media Contact<\/span><br \/><strong>Company Name:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.abnewswire.com\/companyname\/venturexmba.com_99911.html\" rel=\"nofollow\">VentureX Business School<\/a><br \/><strong>Contact Person:<\/strong> Jamie Easley<br \/><strong>Email:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.abnewswire.com\/email_contact_us.php?pr=disruptive-mba-program-aims-to-reform-todays-failed-model-of-learning\" rel=\"nofollow\">Send Email<\/a><br \/><strong>Country:<\/strong> United States<br \/><strong>Website:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/venturexmba.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">https:\/\/venturexmba.com\/<\/a><\/p>\n<p><object type=\"text\/html\" data=\"https:\/\/venturexmba.com\/\" style=\"width:900px; height:400px;\"><\/object><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.abnewswire.com\/press_stat.php?pr=disruptive-mba-program-aims-to-reform-todays-failed-model-of-learning\" alt=\"\" width=\"1px\" height=\"1px\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Educational experts Emily Kosko and Anousheh Shayestepour unite to create a learning platform designed to take the world of higher education by storm.
