I recently spent 11 weeks from April through July taking a new online course from Harvard Business School.

Called HBX CORe (Credential of Readiness), it’s a “pre-MBA” course that tackles the basics of statistics, economics, and accounting using HBS’s case study method and a proprietary user experience.

Its target demographic includes professionals who are looking to make up for their lack of a formal business education in hopes of advancing their careers. Business Insider covered the $1,500 price (which has since increased to $1,800).

After spending approximately 150 hours with it, I can say that I believe it is worth the financial and time investment, and is superior to free online courses in the same subjects.
