(Poets&Quants) — After a pair of highly successful pilot runs, Harvard Business School is now opening its online program in business basics to students worldwide. The school is also inviting admitted MBA students to enroll in the program as a pre-MBA boot camp experience, particularly for non-traditional admits or those who need more basic quantitative work before showing up on campus. 经过两轮非常成功的试运行后，哈佛商学院正式向全世界的学生开放其在线商业基础课程。此外，这所商学院还将其作为MBA新生入学训练营，邀请已被录取的MBA学生报名学习，尤其是那些来自非传统专业，或者需要在入学前学习定量分析基础课程的学生。 All told, slightly more than 1,100 students have now taken the primer on the fundamentals of business called CORe (Credential of Readiness) program. In the first beta starting last June, the trio of courses—Business Analytics, Economics for Managers, and Financial Accounting—were open to only undergraduate students attending colleges in Massachusetts and alumni. Some 600 students took the $1,500 two-month program. Harvard then tested the suite of courses on 500 managers at nine different companies in a B-to-B experiment. 目前，共有超过1100名学生报名参加了这个名为“准备就绪凭证”（CORe）的商业基础课程。在去年六月份进行的第一轮测试中，三门在线课程（商业分析、管理经济学与财务会计）仅对马萨诸塞州的在校本科生及毕业生开放。约有600名学生参加了这个收费1500美元，为期两个月的项目。在随后进行的一项B2B试验中，哈佛商学院面向九家公司的500名管理者测试了一套课程。 |
