From the moment you enroll in the Harvard Business Analytics Program, you’ll have access to the latest, most relevant professional development opportunities you can only find at an institution at the forefront of innovation and research.
HBAP students and graduates stay in constant contact with administrators and faculty—so when the needs of our learners change, our offerings change. Explore some of the benefits we offer today, while we continue to engage, reevaluate, and adapt for tomorrow.
First Look: Beta Cases
Have you ever wondered how Harvard Business School (HBS) case studies are developed? As an HBAPer, you’ll be able to play an active role in the process. Be among the first to read and discuss new, unpublished cases in collaboration with HBS faculty who create and teach them. Registration is required, as space is limited.
New Insights: Learning Sprints
Learning Sprints are short, intensive programs focusing on specialized topics relevant to HBAP students. Instructors bring a wealth of experience, not only in their field of expertise, but also in the delivery of highly engaging online learning.
HBAP students and graduates have special early access to Learning Sprint registration.
There are two levels of participation for Learning Sprints:
Front Row Admission
Limited to fewer than 100 students, this level includes all General Admission benefits plus the following:
- Actively participate on camera in weekly, live sessions.
- Access instructor feedback, interactive assignments, and live Q&A.
- Attend office hour sessions for additional academic support.
Big Ideas: Startup Resources
The HBAP Startup Academy and Pitch Competition were created in collaboration with Rana el Kaliouby, Ph.D., Harvard Business School Executive Fellow, Deputy CEO of Smart Eye and, formerly, co-founder of Affectiva; and Doug Levin, Executive-in-Residence at Harvard Business School and founder and first CEO of Black Duck Software.
All HBAP students and graduates are eligible to participate in one or both programs, which give you the tools to turn promising concepts into market-ready businesses.
