IAU Collaborates with Harvard Business School Online
HBS Online courses use the proven Harvard Business School case study method and its innovative, participant-centered learning model with an edge-of-your-seat online environment that puts students at the center of the learning experience.
IAU will initially offer the Credential of Readiness (CORe). CORe is a business fundamentals program that combines Economics for Managers, Financial Accounting, and Business Analytics with a final exam. These courses may be taken and substituted for IAU’s MBA courses – ECN 500 Managerial Economics, ACC 500 Accounting for Managers, and a graduate-level elective, respectively. Courses taken through HBS will count as credit towards IAU’s certificate or degree completion. IAU students will receive a Certificate from Harvard Business School. From the 2019-2020 surveys and course data, the findings are fantastic; 93% added new skills to their resume, 84% feel better prepared for getting their MBA, and students reported an 86% satisfaction rating. Unfortunately, students may not apply their scholarships or tuition waiver towards the HBS courses. However, they may pay the standard IAU graduate tuition rate for these three 3-semester hour courses and register to take the courses.
