Program and Curriculum

The 2+2 Program is essentially a deferred MBA program that ensures that applicants already have a grasp on the skills and temperament required to work in a professional environment. Students are then integrated with the incoming MBA class, where they build leadership skills and extensive general management techniques by the immersive and practical case- and experience-based program structure at Harvard Business School, which is the most prestigious business school in the world.

Graduates are sure to get a massive upward thrust in their careers. In addition, the course is flexible in the sense that the 2-year work experience is actually 2-ish. HBS gives you the option of continuing with an organization for 3, or even 4 years before you take your seat in the MBA program.
