In collaboration with six Harvard University graduate schools, Harvard Business School offers seven Joint Degree programs. These programs prepare individuals for complex leadership challenges that balance expertise with effective management skills. All Joint Degree students are required to complete the MBA Required Curriculum in its entirety. Students enrolled in a Joint Degree program are fully responsible for knowing their specific program’s guidelines for credit distributions during the Elective Curriculum (EC) Year.
