Harvard Online also offers select discounts for HBS Online courses:

All Harvard Online discounts for courses on the HBS Online platform may not be combined with other scholarships, financial aid, or other offers. Only one discount may be used per order. Participants who are enrolling in discount-eligible cohorts as part of a corporate learning package are NOT eligible for any discount. Participants deferring from discount-eligible cohorts to non-eligible cohorts will not retain the discount. Deferrals are subject to the standard HBS Online program policies. You can’t redeem this discount for cash, and it can’t be transferred or sold. It’s void where prohibited by law. These terms and conditions are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.

Past-Participant Discount

Learners who have enrolled in at least one qualifying Harvard Online program are eligible to receive a 30% discount on qualifying program enrollment.

At this time, the discount is for 30% off of the Program Fee for only the programs listed below. Offer terms are subject to change.

Past HBS Online Participant DISCOUNTs

Learners who have enrolled in at least one qualifying Harvard Online program hosted on the HBS Online platform are eligible to receive a 30% discount on each subsequent qualifying program enrollment, regardless of completion or certificate status in the first purchased program. The discount is NOT valid for the first purchased program. Participants are only eligible to receive a discount after the withdrawal deadline (24 hours after the start of a program*) passes for their first purchased program.

Past-Participant Discounts are automatically applied to the Program Fee upon time of payment. Discounts are not available after you've submitted payment, so if you think you are eligible for a discount on a registration, please review this discount policy in detail before you submit any payment.

*Please note, this is 24 hours after the program materials become available, not after you log in.

Past HARVARDX Participant DISCOUNTs

Learners who have earned a verified certificate for a HarvardX course hosted on the edX platform are eligible to receive a 30% discount on any of the qualifying programs listed above using a discount code.

Discounts are not available after you've submitted payment, so if you think you are eligible for a discount on a registration, please review this discount policy in detail before you submit any payment.

Nonprofit, Government, Military, and Education Discounts

All Harvard Online programs offer a 30% discount for learners who work in nonprofits, government, military, or education.

Interested learners can apply below for the discount and, if eligible, will receive a promo code to enter when completing payment information to enroll in a Harvard Online program.
