Founded in 1908, the Harvard Business School sets itself apart. Not only because it is an Ivy and offers its students a world-class education, but its teaching methods are renowned and faculty are heralded. The Harvard Business School offered PhDs as early as 1922, the same year the “Harvard Business Review” was founded. Two years later, the case method was introduced. It is a way of teaching still used today that looks at current business issues occurring in the real world. Students analyze, study and develop new ways they’d handle the situation. Through the case study method, students are better prepared for what greets them post graduation. What’s more, HBC faculty work with business leaders to research and write such cases each year. Located on Harvard’s 40-acre campus in Boston, the school offers students the opportunity to earn MBA and PhD degrees. It celebrated its 99th commencement earlier this month.
