Exclusively for Levene MBA Students 

The Levene School is proud to be one of only three schools in Canada to have a partnership with Harvard Business School's online branch HBS Online. This partnership allows Levene MBA students to take advantage of low tuition rates for courses taught by Harvard Business School faculty members. MBA students are eligible to take up to two courses through HBS Online Credential of Readiness (CORe) program and have the credits transferred to their Levene MBA program. Students may also complete a third course (Financial Accounting) to earn the CORe certificate from HBS Online and Harvard Business School.

What courses are eligible for transfer credit into my MBA program?

Two of the three courses offered in the HBS Online CORe program are eligible for transfer credit to your Levene MBA program. They are:

• Economics for Managers
• Business Analytics*

*Considered equivalent to MBA 880 - Managing Information, Analytics and Decision-making, which is a core course in the MBA program.  Students may only take Business Analytics with HBS in semesters when MBA 880 is not offered through the Levene Graduate School of Business.

What are the tuition fees?

Because of our partnership with HBS Online, if you indicate at the time of registration you want to be considered for the HBS Income-Based Grant program, which could reduce the cost of each course or CORe certificate. Please check with levene.advising@uregina.ca for further details on the costs.

NOTE: The Income-Based Grant is available only to prospective first-time participants of HBS Online who have not yet enrolled in a course and a questionnaire is required to be completed during the application process. Please reach out to levene.advising@uregina.ca with any questions.

What is the Application Process?

Prior to applying for HBS Online courses, students should discuss the transfer credit HBS courses with the Levene Advisor by emailing levene.advising@uregina.ca. Following this discussion, you will be required to complete and submit a Request for Transfer Credit form to the Levene School. Refer to your Levene student handbook or the FGSR web page for information on transfer credit policies.
