Professional & Lifelong Learning
Business Analytics Program
The Harvard Business Analytics Program is offered through a collaboration between the Harvard John A. Paulson School of Engineering and Applied Sciences (SEAS), the Harvard Business School (HBS), and the Faculty of Arts and Sciences (FAS).
Designed for aspiring and established leaders in any industry, the program leverages a rigorous cross-disciplinary curriculum to help students not just analyze data but understand it, translate it, and incorporate it into strategy at the top levels of their organizations. Students benefit from world-class instruction in courses designed by esteemed Harvard faculty and collaborate with diverse peers in highly interactive online classes. In addition, students attend two in-person immersions hosted at Harvard Business School, where they formulate solutions to real-world business scenarios and develop a network of data-minded business leaders. Students emerge from the program poised to advance into analytics-focused leadership roles and drive disruptive innovation through data.

Leading in Artificial Intelligence: Exploring Technology and Policy Program
The Leading in Artificial Intelligence: Exploring Technology and Policy Program is offered through a collaboration between the Harvard John A. Paulson School of Engineering and Applied Sciences (SEAS) and the Harvard Kennedy School (HKS)
The use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) is expanding into nearly every sector of society—from healthcare and finance to transportation and government services. Yet, most decision makers do not fully understand how these technologies work, nor fully grasp the potential unintended consequences of their application. Public trust in AI and ML requires that leaders understand and address questions around fairness, privacy, and bias. Created jointly by the John A. Paulson School of Engineering and Applied Sciences and Harvard Kennedy School, Leading in Artificial Intelligence: Exploring Technology and Policy Program provides leaders with the tools and resources to better navigate this uncharted territory. This new executive program will strengthen participants’ capacity to lead in AI, including how to mitigate risk without inhibiting innovation.

Harvard Climate Forum
Supported by The Salata Institute for Climate and Sustainability at Harvard and the Harvard Professional and Lifelong Learning Committee, the Harvard Climate Forum brought together faculty and participants across all disciplines – business, policy, health, education, law and beyond – in a one-day, on-campus event. Led by a multi-disciplinary team of faculty, over 100 participants worked with inspired contemporaries from across the professional spectrum and around the world. In addition to gaining new approaches to climate change issues, this University-wide event provided an unprecedented opportunity to broaden the learners’ network.
