Harvard Business School Online is pleased to collaborate with Middlebury College to provide benefits to current students with qualifying financial need who are taking the HBS Credential of Readiness (CORe) program and the Business Analytics, Economics for Managers, and Financial Accounting individual certificate programs. With your consent, Middlebury will share information with HBS Online to allow the program to offer need-based scholarships to offset the cost of these programs. Details are available here.
The Credential of Readiness (CORe) is a rigorous online program consisting of three courses—Business Analytics, Economics for Managers, and Financial Accounting—designed to help you achieve fluency in the language of business. You will develop deep-seated problem solving skills and the confidence to contribute to business discussions and decision making.
Learning requirements: In order to earn the Credential of Readiness, participants must do the following:
- Thoughtfully complete all modules by stated deadlines
- Satisfactorily participate in courses through reflections and cold calls, for example
- Demonstrate content mastery through satisfactory completion of module quizzes
- Earn a passing score on the final exam of all three component courses
Final Exam: The CORe final exam is a three-hour, multiple-choice, closed book assessment created by HBS faculty and delivered via the HBS Online course platform. The exam is offered to participants after successful completion of the program during defined time periods following the last module deadline.
