Rise to your leadership potential with an ACAP MBA
The Australian College of Applied Professions (ACAP) is dedicated to developing the advancement of women leaders in Australia.

Women & Leadership Australia graduates will receive credit for 2 units of study in Stage 1 of the ACAP MBA and may apply for credit for an additional 2 units of study.
