Register Now for the HBS Peek Program
Are you a college student interested in learning more about the MBA degree? Harvard Business School has just the program for you. Known as HBS Peek, this online initiative offers an insider preview of the HBS MBA program. Attendees will experience the Case Method with HBS faculty, develop their leadership skills, and craft their careers after college.
“Do you think an MBA is just for ‘corporate types’? Think again!” says Dr. Youngme Moon, the Faculty Chair for HBS Peek. “The Master of Business Administration (MBA) is one of the most flexible master’s degrees you can find.”
“Through Peek you can explore options for your future and learn how an MBA can help you develop general management skills that you can put to use in any career and in any kind of organization—from for-profit businesses to non-profit organizations, from your own start-up to the world’s largest companies, and everything in between,” Moon explains.
The next HBS Peek runs from January 24-26, 2024. Peek is an open enrollment program and does not have a formal application process. However, there is a two-step registration process. First, prospective attendees should complete the pre-enrollment online form. Second, prospective attendees sign up for individual sessions in January.
This virtual program is free and open to any college student. Register for the sessions that best fit your schedule. There will be 12 hours of programming to choose from over three days, says Moon. Participants can choose as much or as little as their schedule allows.
HBS Peek is the Perfect First Look for 2+2 Aspirants
HBS Peek is an invaluable entry point for anyone considering Harvard Business School’s deferred admissions program. The application for the HBS 2+2 program opens soon and is due April 25, 2024.
