The Harvard Business School community is highly vaccinated. We encourage all visitors and guests coming to campus to be up to date on their vaccinations and boosters.

We ask that visitors and guests do not come to campus if they are sick, have been asked to quarantine or isolate, or have tested positive within the past 5 days.

Guests are welcome in the MBA, Doctoral, and Executive Education classrooms. With the exception of guests supporting course delivery and faculty development, potential classroom visitors must be approved in advance by program administration or faculty as appropriate (for example, MBA students need to work directly with faculty members).

Masks are optional throughout the HBS campus but are strongly recommended for large group events like reunions and commencement. Any individual in our community can always choose to wear a mask and should never feel obliged to explain the reasons for their decision.

If you wear a mask, we encourage the use of high-quality disposable masks, worn in a way that minimizes air gaps around the edges. Surgical-style masks (which are effective and used widely in hospital settings) or cup-style protective masks such as KN-95, layered under a form-fitting fabric mask, can ensure good filtration as well as an effective seal. Face coverings that are worn loosely will not offer strong protection.

The MBA admissions office hosts campus tours and information sessions to answer questions about the MBA program and admissions process. Prospective students are also invited to learn about HBS’s academic environment by observing a class in session. Please visit the MBA Admissions Visit page to learn more and register.

Partners of our MBA and Doctoral students are considered full members of our HBS Community and are treated as students in terms of campus access. They are not considered visitors or guests.
