Harvard Business School (HBS) Online is dedicated to providing accessible, high-quality business education to motivated learners worldwide, regardless of their professional backgrounds or academic history. In line with this commitment to accessibility, Hbs Online has streamlined the enrollment process for its certificate programs. Now, taking the next step in your career through HBS Online is easier than ever, as applications are no longer required for certificate programs. (Please note that applications are still necessary for our credential programs, CORe and CLIMB.) You can enroll immediately and begin your journey towards professional growth.
Getting started with HBS Online certificate programs is simple. All prospective participants need to complete a brief online enrollment form before making a payment. If you are new to the HBS Online platform, you will first be prompted to create an account, which will then allow you to enroll in your chosen program.
This user-friendly online enrollment form is provided at no cost, and there are no requirements for special documentation. To participate in HBS Online programs, individuals must be at least 18 years of age, possess proficiency in English, and demonstrate a commitment to actively learning and engaging with fellow participants throughout the program duration.
You can track updates regarding your enrollment status conveniently on your personal account page. HBS Online maintains a commitment to fairness and inclusivity, and does not consider race, gender, ethnicity, or any protected class as enrollment criteria for any of its programs.
Discover HBS Online Credential Programs
While certificate programs offer direct enrollment, HBS Online’s credential programs, specifically CORe and CLIMB, maintain an application process. The application forms are straightforward and request basic personal background information. You can easily apply for and enroll in these programs through the online portal. For new users, creating an account is the first step before beginning your application for your desired credential program.
The online application for credential programs is also free of charge and does not require any special documentation. Similar to certificate programs, applicants must be at least 18 years old, proficient in English, and dedicated to actively participating and learning with peers throughout the program.
Application and enrollment status updates are readily available on your account page. Enrollment eligibility for CORe is typically confirmed within one week of application submission, while CLIMB enrollment confirmation takes approximately three weeks. HBS Online upholds a non-discriminatory admission policy, ensuring that race, gender, ethnicity, or protected class are not factors in admissions decisions for any HBS Online program.
