About This Program

The Health, Behavior and Society Summer Institute offers short, intensive courses that provide students with an understanding of behavioral and societal impacts on public health—and specific strategies to address the challenges they present. The Institute offers a range of courses with the same academic rigor and world-class faculty instruction as regular-term courses, but in a condensed, flexible format. 

Credit and Non-Credit Options

Courses may be taken for academic credit or on a non-credit basis. Students who take a non-credit course will not be required to complete assignments, and completion of the course will not appear on a Bloomberg School transcript. Retroactive conversion from academic credit to non-credit is not permitted.

Condensed Course Formats

While most of our full-term courses last for several weeks, our Summer Institute courses operate in an intensive format. Our 2021 Summer Institute courses range from 1 day to a couple weeks in length. 

Bloomberg School Faculty Instruction

Our HBS Summer Institute faculty are experts in their fields, many celebrated nationally and even internationally for their contributions.

Networking

Though the HBS Summer Institute, students engage regularly with Bloomberg School faculty experts. They also have a unique opportunity to connect with and learn from other students from a range of professional backgrounds. 

Flexibility

Students may enroll in the HBS Summer Institute to earn credits toward a degree, advance their careers, or explore new areas of interest.
