Our Mission

We're Challenging the Traditional MBA Education System

Frequently Asked Questions

  • What are the entry requirements?

    We care more about your drive than your past studies or job experience. Primarily, we look at your motivation and willingness to apply the knowledge in your daily life. There’s no need to have a co-founder or a business idea to apply either.

  • I work full-time, is this program for me?

    Yes, most of our students work full-time. We designed Augment to be completely online and self-paced. Our program works around your busy schedule, with most students making a 20-40-minute daily commitment.

  • How long does the program take to complete?

    The Augment MBA is self-paced, so completion times vary. Most students take between 4 and 6 months to finish the program.

  • An MBA for $2,450? What’s the catch?

    Our independence from traditional academic institutions and accreditation bodies means we have much more flexibility than traditional MBA programs. Our mission is to make premium business education accessible by making it as affordable as possible.

  • Does Augment offer financial aid?

    Augment offers financial aid to highly motivated individuals who lack the financial resources to access our program. Ask your admissions advisor to learn more or write us at: admissions@augment.org.

  • Is Augment more than just video lessons?

    Yes. About one-third of our program consists of video lectures. There is also written text , visualizations, case studies, interactive quizzes, downloadable handbooks, events, and more.

  • Is the Augment MBA accredited?

    No, and we have no intention of seeking accreditation. An accredited Master’s Degree comes with many constraints and expenses — that’s what we’re working against. Instead, we provide graduates with the Augment MBA certificate, signed by Chris Barton, the Founder of Shazam.

  • Can I get a refund if I’m not satisfied?

    Yes. All students are eligible for a full refund within 15 days of enrollment - no questions asked.

  • Does Augment offer networking opportunities?

    Yes! By enrolling in our program, you’ll join a vibrant global community of ambitious entrepreneurs. The community consists of an in-house platform, a LinkedIn group, as well as weekly virtual and in-person events.
