Harvard Business School Online (HBS Online)

Since 2022, Abitus has partnered with Harvard Business School (HBS) to offer HBS Online programs to our learners, and these programs have been met with strong and continued interest.

HBS Online courses are designed as intensive, short-term programs—typically completed in approximately three to eight weeks—and are positioned as micro-credentials that enable efficient upskilling and reskilling in targeted areas. Each course generally requires around 30 hours of total study time and is structured on the assumption of approximately four to five hours per week. For learners who are still developing their English proficiency, we recommend allocating seven to eight hours per week to ensure a comfortable learning pace.

HBS Online delivers a distinctive learning experience through its innovative platform, built on an active, social, and case-based learning model. You will engage with real-world business cases grounded in HBS’s signature case method, participate in frequent interactive exercises, and learn alongside a global community of peers through discussions and collaboration—an approach designed to bring the dynamism of the HBS classroom to you.
