Harvard

2+2 Program Information Session

Wednesday September 11, 2024 at 9:00 AM until 9:45 AM EDT

“Calling all college students! This virtual information session, hosted by a member of the MBA Admissions Team, will outline the enriching journey of the HBS MBA program, the admissions process, and financial aid.

We will showcase the 2+2 program – a deferred admissions pathway for college students. Picture this: a minimum of two years of hands-on professional experience, followed by two transformative years in the HBS MBA Program. Upon graduation from college or graduate school, our 2+2 students embark on their deferral years, dedicating a minimum of two years (maximum of four years) to growing in professional positions in the public, private, or nonprofit sectors. The 2+2 program is designed to create a pathway to the MBA for high-potential college students. Come learn if this program is right for you. We will also share additional opportunities for college students to engage with HBS, such as Peek and Summer Venture in Management.

Immerse yourself in the vast array of career possibilities and flexibility that comes with an HBS MBA degree. It’s not just about securing a position or delving into a single industry. It’s about the evolution of your career and how the Harvard Business School MBA equips you for any role you choose. Your journey to the MBA starts here!”
