Admissions

Because a diverse participant mix is an important part of every HBS Executive Education program, we look for candidates who reflect a broad range of industries, functions, countries, and backgrounds to enrich the learning experience.

Fees, Payments, and Cancellations

The $72,000 program fee covers registration, tuition, program materials, most meals, and accommodations in Boston for the entire four-year program.

Payment will be required on Admission, to hold your place in the cohort. After admission notification, we will send you an invoice via email; payment is due within 21 days of the invoice date. If admission is within 30 days prior to the start of the program, payment is due upon receipt of the invoice. Payment is required prior to the program start date. We accept payment by company check, bank wire transfer, or credit card (Visa, MasterCard, American Express, and Discover). Details are included on the program invoice.

If you need to cancel, you must submit your request in writing more than 21 days before the start of the program to receive a full refund.
