Harvard Business School (HBS) is the graduate business school of 📝Harvard University, founded in 1908 and known for its two-year MBA program, its executive education, and the case method of teaching management.
HBS offers a full-time MBA, doctoral programs, executive education for working leaders, and online courses through HBS Online. Its campus sits in the Allston neighborhood of Boston, across the Charles River from Harvard's main campus in Cambridge, and is anchored by Baker Library.
The school is closely identified with the case method, in which students debate written accounts of real business decisions instead of attending lectures. HBS faculty author a large share of the business cases taught at other schools, distributed through Harvard Business Publishing, the Harvard-owned not-for-profit that also publishes 📝Harvard Business Review (HBR).
HBS is consistently ranked among the most selective and influential business schools, and its alumni network spans corporate, financial, and entrepreneurial leadership. Alumni include venture capitalist and fractional CFO 📝John Zdanowski and media executive 📝Larry Aidem, former CEO of Sundance Channel.
