HBX's CORe Program = 8 undergraduate credit hours

Dean Lambert sent out an HES wide email this week announcing the partnership between HBX and HES. Key topic being that the Credential of Readiness (CORe) program is now available to be taken as undergraduate credit, eight credits to be exact. So, not only do you receive a certificate from HBS, but also 8 credits. Not bad for a 12 week program. However, this is known to be a rather challenging program. I have heard many great things and look forward to hearing from CORe certificate holders.

Who's doing HBX Core next semester?

I was just accepted! Not sure if I can afford the pricing, though.

Check out this video on the new learning format from HBS, HBX Live. Pretty neat! You'll have to click through to the vimeo site if you want to watch it.

Below are guidelines from HBS on how to properly display your credential.

Once you've earned your Credential of Readiness, list it on your resume along with the date of completion, as well as any honors you received, like this:

Summer 2014 HBX | Harvard Business School

On LinkedIn, list CORe under "education" as follows:
School: HBX | Harvard Business School
Dates Attended: the year you participated in CORe
Degree: Other; "Core: Credential of Readiness"
Field of Study: leave blank
Grade: "Pass," "Pass with Honors" or "Pass with High Honors" as applicable
