Preparing Students for a Lifetime of Leadership
is a community of people engaged in many activities focused on one purpose—developing leaders. Our MBA graduates use the skills they develop here to inspire change and innovation throughout their lives—in business and in other organizations, in their communities, and in society.
Admission to Harvard Business School is really an invitation. We ask you to engage the sum of your talents, your experience, and your dedication in an intensive, two-year program of transformation. Here, we encourage you to challenge your assumptions, acquire new skills, examine unfamiliar possibilities, imagine unexpected opportunities and, most of all, to assume responsibility for yourself and for our world.
In short, we invite you to turn your potential into a real capacity for leadership. At HBS, we stimulate your growth in a number of distinctive ways:
- General management focus
- The case method
- A community experience
- Global reach
- The HBS network
- An exceptional campus
- Interdisciplinary approach
A cornerstone for any career:
General Management Focus
Change is the one thing you can expect with certainty. That's why we have carefully crafted the MBA Curriculum to help you develop a capacity for analysis, assessment, judgment, and action that you can exercise throughout the course of any career you choose to pursue. Our commitment to general management has produced leaders across a spectrum of industries, roles, and responsibilities, from innovative entrepreneurial initiatives to corporate and public-sector governance.
Leadership begins in the classroom:
The Case Method
It's one thing to learn a theory from lectures and textbooks. It's something else entirely to learn how to make decisions in the face of conflicting data, complex politics, and intense time and fiscal pressures—then defend your choices among peers as motivated and intelligent as you are. That's exactly what you'll do at HBS, not once but over 500 times. Through the case method, you're actively immersed in a process in which you not only learn about leadership and teamwork, but are required to exercise it, time and again.

A Community Experience
We achieve our best not in isolation but within a community of others from diverse backgrounds. At its core, HBS student life is built around an intense section experience that's invigorated with School-wide club events, student organizations, guest speakers, seminars, sports, conferences, and more. In fact, many of our student profiles share a common theme: how MBA candidates have not only found a community of support, but a close-knit network of friendships that last a lifetime.

Global Reach
The HBS experience is inherently international. To support its research and case development process, the School maintains a network of Global Research Centers that reach from the Asia-Pacific to the Silicon Valley, from Latin America to India and Europe. But the global connections at HBS are personal as well. Every section is in itself a virtual seminar in international relations, drawing talented students from all over the world—and from every industry and professional interest—into active discussions enriched by diverse perspectives and points of view.
Connections to opportunities:
The HBS Alumni Network
When you graduate with an MBA from Harvard Business School, you earn a place within a community of more than 70,000 business leaders in 150 countries. More than 40,000 of our alumni have made themselves available to current students to help them build connections and uncover business opportunities throughout their careers. Whether you're interested in corporate management, entrepreneurial enterprises, or non-profit leadership, as MBA students, you'll find experienced, top-level business professionals eager to lend you their support.

An environment for personal growth:
An Exceptional Campus
At HBS, the beauty of our campus is more than that which you can see. Everything from the layout of our classrooms to the close proximity of our residence halls is designed to foster discussion, facilitate deep learning, and encourage connections among students and faculty. The sum of our buildings is more than an attractive campus along the Charles River—it's an environment structured for your personal and professional growth.
Building bridges across boundaries:
Interdisciplinary Approach
Business challenges rarely fall neatly into academic disciplines. To educate managers for complex challenges that integrate multiple issues and ideas, HBS case development and teaching is deeply informed by a number of cross-disciplinary initiatives including:
- The Entrepreneurship Initiative, an "incubator of ideas" that helps students, faculty and business leaders get the understanding they need today for tomorrow's most promising enterprises.
- The Global Initiative extends our reach around the world through research centers in Silicon Valley; Hong Kong; Buenos Aires, Argentina; Mumbai, India; Tokyo, Japan; and Paris, France.
- The Healthcare Initiative investigates the possibilities of improving healthcare management—and individual health outcomes—through research, collaboration and thought leadership.
- The Leadership Initiative turns the highest ideals of management and human potential into practical reality in private enterprise and public policy.
- The Social Enterprise Initiative extends business leadership beyond the balance sheet and into non-profit development, corporate social responsibility, and private/public collaboration.
