Harvard business school
I’m starting Harvard business school online and I want to know if anyone can tell me about it and how good it is?

it's tier 3 at best
So it is good?
no.
Just forgot that “online” in the tittle, didn’t we?
What are you trying to say I put “online in the description”
Alright, I'll just answer the question.
No, no it's not good. When I see that someone went to Harvard Business School, I think "damn they're smart, obviously they're very smart if they got into HBS". When I see that someone went to the online counterpart, I don't think that. I consider it a bit of a cop-out unless you're an experienced executive.
My goal is to attend Harvard on campus eventually but I started online at first. I want to get my MBA at HBS. I’m new to the Harvard system good or bad I think it’s a start.
From the Boston area and everyone out here thinks it's a joke. IIRC the degrees don't say Harvard Business School they say Harvard Extension School and you're not allowed to market yourself as an HBS graduate (they legally outline what you can say on a resume and linkedin).
If you want to attend HBS this won't help at all and if you completed the degree it would actually hurt you. You also won't have access to HBS OCR through and nobody will look at you as a Harvard graduate in the job marketplace because it's just not true. The only barrier to entry for these programs is being able to pay the cost for the degree (getting a 3.0 in these classes won't be particularly difficult).
You'll also see people on LinkedIn post about this and boast about getting into HBS. They all have non impressive backgrounds (BO types, sales jobs at companies you've never heard of, etc.) and when you click on their page they're always Harvard Extension School graduates.
are you an idiot? I can't tell if you are trolling or not
Never going to happen. It's not a start, it's not considered legitimate in the business world, it's a low effort, high margin income generator that leverages the name of Harvard, one of the most successful brands in the world.
You seem extremely naive.
Still pretty deceiving. You don’t get an MBA from this program.
Is that the same as EdX?
Tuckies are the real badasses
I think having Harvard extension (or whatever the online thing is called) can be looked at as a negative. I would certainly judge someone who was naive enough to pay for that online certificate (unless they legitimately just went for the knowledge). Especially true if you at all talk about “going to Harvard”. It’s a paid online certificate and everyone knows that.
I definitely want the knowledge out of it that’s what really made me look at it but I am studying business and macroeconomics in college as well
I want to thank everyone for commenting. I’ve learned a lot from this. if anyone can leave some positive comments about it just to see both sides that would be grate thanks.
Bro, there are no positive comments to be added. If there were 2 sides, I'm sure people would be honest enough to shed light on both.
I don't know who you are and I'll likely never meet you, but I strongly recommend you don't pursue this program. Best of luck in the rest of your career.
You are still in college? There is lots of openware classes with the same (possibly better) knowledge.
