Part of the Inner MBA curriculum includes live sessions with our elite faculty of business leaders, spiritual teachers, and Ivy League professors. You can attend these sessions live, or you can access the recordings we will make available in your Inner MBA members area.

You’ll also meet with a small group of peers once per month, held at a time your group mutually agrees upon. As community is an integral part of the program, you will be required to attend this session live in order to earn your Certificate of Completion when the program ends.

Plus, you’ll have the opportunity to connect, network, and collaborate in the Inner MBA virtual Networking Cafe throughout the program at times that work best for your schedule.

The Inner MBA is a 9-month program, and enrollment opens just once each year. The next program starts on September 19, 2022 and ends on May 21, 2023.

We understand that life can get busy, plus we have students in different time zones across the United States and the world. This is why we’ve designed the Inner MBA program to include both self-paced and live components.

The program consists of nine modules—you and your fellow students will focus on one module per month for the nine-month duration of the program.

Each module contains video teachings, exercises and practices, and reading course materials that you can go through at your own pace. Plus you’ll have the opportunity to connect, network, and collaborate in the Inner MBA virtual Networking Cafe throughout the program at times that work best for your schedule.

There will also be several live sessions each month with the Inner MBA faculty that we recommend attending live if you can, so that you can participate in the live Q&A portion of the sessions. (If you can’t make the live sessions, you can always access the recordings later on inside your Inner MBA members area.)

As community is an integral part of the program, you will be required to attend a once-per-month small group meeting with your peers in order to earn your Certificate of Completion when the program ends. This meeting will always be held at a time your group mutually agrees upon, however, so it should be easy for you to attend.

We estimate you’ll spend one or two hours per week watching video teachings, participating in live Q&As, engaging in exercises and practices, and reading course materials. 

And if you want to go deeper, there will be optional reading material and exercises offered for those seeking further resources and deeper learning.

You will not be required to submit assignments for “grading,” as you would in a traditional educational setting.

You’ll be required, however, to complete the following by the program end date (May 21, 2023) in order to receive your Certificate of Completion:

  • Complete all nine modules, which includes viewing all streaming content and attending the live sessions with the faculty (or, if you aren’t able to attend live, watching the recordings)
  • Participation in your once-per-month small group meeting with your peers

We are taking the health of all Inner MBA enrollees very seriously. We’ve made a few additional options available in your enrollment process.

If you are uncertain about traveling to the in-person immersion events in September 2020 and April 2021, you may now enroll for the Virtual Only Program, and then upgrade later to the In-Person Immersion Events & Virtual Program if you become more comfortable with travel.

Alternately, if you’d like to enroll in the In-Person Immersion Events & Virtual Program, you can downgrade to the Virtual Only option if you need to due to travel conditions.

To support anyone experiencing financial hardship during this time, we have opened up several more scholarships than we initially planned to, to make sure no student who wants to attend is turned away for financial reasons.
