Harvard transfer credit is accepted by institutions around the world, but it is always up to the accepting university to determine transferability. The Harvard Extension School graduate program in the field of management or finance offers an accelerated admission pathway for students who pass CORe in the for-credit or non-credit offering. Financial aid and financing options available for CORe program participants also vary depending on whether participants have elected the undergraduate credit option or have enrolled in the non-credit version of the program.
CORe participants may be eligible for financial aid based on demonstrated financial need. To receive financial aid, you will be asked to provide supporting documentation. While applicants to the MBA Program at HBS will have an opportunity to inform the Admissions Board of non-degree preparatory coursework including CORe , this is one of many application elements and will be considered in the larger context of a holistic selection process. You will have access to the materials in every prior module as you progress through the program and prepare for the final exam.
At the end of the program, you will receive a PDF compilation of all of the module summary documents. Once you've earned your Credential of Readiness, list it on your resume along with the date of completion like this:. CORe is comprised of three courses—Business Analytics, Economics for Managers, and Financial Accounting—developed by leading Harvard Business School faculty and delivered in an active learning environment based on the HBS signature case-based learning model.
Beyond the participation elements stated above, the quality of your contributions will be the most important determinant to assess how deeply and productively you have engaged with others, and hence will have an impact on your program grade. They were created to serve as opportunities for you to practice, test, and refine your understanding of the course material and, as such, do not "count" toward your course grade.
Of course, we expect you to approach this element of participation with the same degree of care as you do other parts of the course participation. In addition, it is in your own interest to complete these questions thoroughly since some of them are good indicators of the types of questions to expect on module quizzes or the final exam.
We cannot draw equivalencies between our grading scale and an A-F grading scale. If you are an organization that requires proof of satisfactory completion to process reimbursements, any employee who earns a Pass or higher has met our requirements of mastery and should be considered eligible for reimbursement. Upon completion of the course, if you are asked for official verification of your completion of CORe by an employer or institution, you may order an official HBS Online transcript at any time via My Dashboard.
The exam is offered to participants after successful completion of the program during defined time periods following the last module deadline.
More details about exam delivery will be shared at the beginning of each cohort. The exam window generally opens one to two weeks after the last module deadline. The final exam window for each cohort is open for two weeks. Participants are expected to fully complete all coursework in a thoughtful and timely manner. This helps ensure participants proceed through the course at a similar pace and can take full advantage of social learning opportunities.

The paper illustrates how allowing proceduralists to influence both upstream and downstream components of the surgical episode will improve patient outcomes and lower costs, allowing administrators to better match resources to care needs. Such collaboration will be necessary for successful value-based health care delivery. Kaplan, Robert S. Should We Embrace Crypto? By: Charles C. Wang, Charles C. Case Study and Commentary. We study how learning by experience across projects affects an entrepreneur's strategic foresight.
In a quantitative study of entrepreneurs across crowdfunded projects supplemented with a program of qualitative interviews, we counterintuitively find that entrepreneurs make less accurate predictions as they gain experience executing projects: they miss their predicted timeline to bring a product to market by nearly six additional weeks on each successive project.
Although learning should improve prediction accuracy in principle, we argue that entrepreneurs also learn of opportunities to augment each successive product, which drastically expands the interdependencies beyond what an entrepreneur can anticipate. We find that entrepreneurs encounter more unforeseen interdependencies in their subsequent projects, and they sacrifice on-time delivery to address these interdependencies.
Peterson, Aticus, and Andy Wu. Lead article. A recent literature has documented large real effects of trade policy uncertainty TPU on trade, employment, and investment, but there is little evidence that investors are compensated for bearing such risk. A long-short portfolio designed to isolate exposure to TPU earns a risk-adjusted return of 3.
This effect is larger in sectors less protected from globalization, and more reliant on inputs from China. Industries more exposed to trade policy uncertainty also had a larger drop in stock prices when the uncertainty began, and more volatile returns around key policy dates.
