HBS Holds Military Prospective Students Webinar

The Harvard Business School will be hosting a Military Prospective Student Webinar. The webinar will be held March 25 from 4 to 5 p.m. During the webinar, prospective students will have the opportunity to get an overview of the military community at HBS and hear from current students from the Armed Forces Alumni Association through a Q&A panel discussion. Those interested in participating in the webinar can complete a registration form online.

Harvard Business School provides student veterans with substantial support for tuition and other expenses every year through scholarship and government funds. For 2014-2015 Academic Year, the school has awarded over $1.77 million to US military veterans attending the MBA program.  As part of the Post-9/11 GI Bill, HBS contributes up to $12,000 for each eligible service member (capped at 60 students), matched dollar-for-dollar by the US Department of Veterans Affairs. The school also participates in the Yellow Ribbon program.

The Harvard Business School offers a Full-Time MBA program as well as a Professional Evening MBA program. The curriculum for both programs are composed of 64 credits. These credits come from 34 credits of core courses and 30 credits of elective courses. Core courses provide students with a solid foundation in accounting, finance, information systems, marketing, operations, organizational behavior and strategy.

Through elective courses, students have the option to specialize in a more specific area of business, not covered in the core courses. Specialization options include, entrepreneurship, finance, international management, leadership and organizational transformation, marketing, operations and technology management and strategy and business analysis.

The final application deadline for the Harvard Business School is April 6. More information on the MBA program, admissions process and other financial aid options for the HBS MBA can be found at metromba.com.
