Can I apply to the Harvard MBA with my three-year bachelor's degree from India?
Yes, typically. Harvard Business School lists international three-year bachelor's degree programs among equivalent degrees, so you generally need a bachelor's degree equivalent to a U.S. one in any field. A two-year master's after a three-year bachelor's may help but is not required. Confirm on the official page.
