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.
