Extracted Content: It’s now been five years since Harvard Business School rolled out its first online business program. Launched in the fall of 2014, the school’s Credential of Readiness (CORE) trio of online business basics courses first went live in June to only rising juniors and seniors and freshly minted college grads in Massachusetts.
From that initial foray into the online space, Harvard Business School now offers a dozen different online courses and programs. CORE remains its most popular program, taken by more than 22,000 students, including nearly a third of the last entering class of Harvard MBAs. The program which includes Business Analytics, Economics for Managers, and Financial Accounting now costs $2,250, up from an introductory price of $1,500, or $3,680 if a student wants to take the course for credit. Students can take CORe over either a ten-week timeframe, requiring a time weekly time commitment of about 15 hours, or a less intense 17-week period, requiring about eight hours of work a week.
