*International does not include US Permanent Residents

**US Ethnic Minorities includes US Permanent Residents

***The typical HBS class size is ~930. Due to onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, we gave all incoming Class of 2022 students the option to defer. 732 chose to enroll in 2020. Because of this flexible deferral policy, we increased the class size of the Classes of 2023 & 2024 to ~1000 each.

The Department of the Interior via the Office of Civil Rights provides federal guidelines for maintaining, collecting, and presenting data on race and ethnicity. HBS is required to follow these standards which allow students to self-identify their ethnicity and race, with the option to select more than one race and/or ethnicity. The racial and ethnic categories listed here reflect those included in our application process, per federal guidelines. *US race / ethnicity enrollment shown as a percent of US citizens and permanent residents.

Federal Reporting Guidelines

Per federal guidelines, all students who identify as Hispanic / Latinx and any other race are represented as Hispanic / Latinx only. Students who identify with more than one race are represented as Multi-Race only. The column adds to 100% but may be slightly lower or higher due to rounding.

Multi-Dimensional Reporting

We share students' full racial and ethnic identities to more inclusively reflect the racial / ethnic groups with which they identify in the multi-dimensional reporting. Students with multi-racial / ethnic identities are represented in more than one row, meaning the column adds to more than 100%.
