Candidates who have gone directly to a master's degree program may now apply to the 2+2 program at HBS.

The 2+2 Program is designed to give college students an opportunity to apply to Harvard Business School before entering the world of work. The HBS classroom relies on the Real World experience of students. Students bring not only some content knowledge of their pre-MBA industry but also the perspective of what it feels like to be in a workplace, have a boss and have experienced the rhythms of professional life.

2+2 admits must work for at least two years before coming to the MBA Program - and they are permitted to extend that to three or four years.

What's the change? Candidates who have gone directly to a master's degree program after the undergraduate degree are now eligible for 2+2. So we will re-word the eligibility requirement to read:

"Candidates are eligible as they begin their final year of university study. Candidates who already have full-time work experience (between the bachelor's and master's degrees) should apply using the regular MBA application format."
