Do MBAs Need Calculus? No at HBS

The answer from a first year at Harvard Business School is a resounding NO.

1. Does your program suggest brushing up calculus skills before starting the first year?

No.

2. Does your program provide any calculus pre-term teaching?  If yes, is it done on campus?

No.

3. Have you used calculus in your MBA studies?  If yes, in what classes?

No. While some of the applications could have required calculus, the prof worked through the proofs for us, and told us to keep focus on the ‘big picture’ as opposed to the math.
