Stories from Our Learners
“HBS Online was an invaluable and essential education. The information provided, the quality of the presentation, and the high-level engagement among students surpassed my expectations.”
Rick Corbett,
Harvard Law School ’15
The platform was engaging, innovative, and allowed me to interact with the material in a way I never expected from an online course.
A few weeks into the course, accounting terminology came alive as I realized why accounting is the language of business. I can now talk confidently with clients and understand the business aspect of their problems.
