Academic Experience



Academic Experience
Through the rich case- and experience-based curriculum at Harvard Business School (HBS), students build deep general management and leadership skills, setting the foundation for lifelong impact.
Students graduate from HBS not only with increased knowledge but, more importantly, with grounding and practice in how to make difficult decisions and what it means to assume leadership in a global environment.
Joint Degrees

The Section Experience
Sections of 90 students take their first-year classes together, sharing case discussions, experiences, and a classroom.

Faculty & Research
Harvard Business School professors care deeply about teaching and interacting with students. Under skillful faculty direction, classrooms become crucibles for leadership: students test their judgment, explore complex ideas, reflect on their leadership styles, and embrace new models and methods for effective business management.

Initiatives
Initiatives are research-fueled “communities of engagement” where faculty, students, and alumni connect with practitioners in the field to develop insights that drive impact. They provide powerful platforms to address complex, multi-dimensional topics that demand a new managerial mindset.
