Joint Degree Program Associations

Harvard Business School partners with other Harvard graduate schools to offer joint programs leading to joint degrees. These programs allow students to complete requirements for both degrees in less time than if pursued separately.

Visit Joint Degree Programs for more program information.

Students in these programs are able to formalize into a Joint Degree Program Association under MBA Student & Academic Services. Two programs that have done so are the JD/MBA Association and the HKS/HBS Association.
