Master the MBA Lexicon™ and succeed in the classroom through The MBA IQ, a unique online course
designed by alumnae of The Harvard Business School. The MBA IQ introduces students to the MBA
Lexicon, prepares them for success in the classroom, and gives them the confidence to compete. In
addition, The MBA IQ can help potential candidates determine an MBA is the right path for them by
introducing them to the foundational course topics.
In this increasingly competitive business environment, students need to get the most out of their MBA
experience. With the rising costs of the MBA and an extremely competitive admissions process, there is
increased pressure on students to maximize their overall investment. By preparing for the classroom
before matriculation, students can spend more time getting grounded, starting up their job search, and
developing their network.
Ms. Devi Vallabhaneni, founder of The MBA IQ believes, “first impressions take seconds to form –
make a great one. You did a lot to prepare for admission. You invested a lot of time and energy into
your job, grades, the GMAT, writing resumes, and securing great recommendations. Make sure you
don’t show up on your first day unprepared. Invest the time to succeed in the classroom.”
The MBA IQ is available online, accompanied by the “What is your MBA IQ” workbook published by
John Wiley & Sons and authored by Devi Vallabhaneni. This unique course covers all areas of business
operations through 12 modules. In addition it employs an active learning approach to ensure students
engage in the content and truly learn the MBA Lexicon.
