Career Path

A time for reflection

HBS is not a final destination, but an important point of transition that prepares students for the opportunities that lie ahead. That’s why MBA Career & Professional Development (MBA CPD) is an integral part of any HBS experience.

Upon your arrival at Harvard Business School, you'll find one of the most precious resources of all: time for reflection. To fully benefit from our MBA Program experience—including immersive class participation through the case and field methods, learning teams, section life, and extracurricular activities—you need time to concentrate on your new environment. In fact, we believe it's important to postpone the recruitment process until you have had the opportunity to build a successful academic foundation at HBS.
