Admissions & Financial Support
HBS admits a talented class of intellectually curious applicants from diverse backgrounds
every year. We search for individuals who want to influence the world of practice
through new knowledge that is developed through deep rigorous study.
Applicants are evaluated on their academic records, letters of recommendation, research and work experience, statement of purpose, and potential to conduct independent research with the guidance and support of the faculty at Harvard. Scholarship requires strong written and verbal communications skills. All applicants are required to submit either a GRE or GMAT score. Additionally, students who have not received a degree from a 4-year English-speaking institution must also submit a TOEFL or IELTS score.
All of our programs are jointly offered with the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences, providing students with access to all that Harvard University has to offer. More information about our programs can be found on the program pages or you may join us for one of our outreach events online or in person.
