I think you're right it wouldn't be worth it to pay the extra $3000 for only 8 credits(especially since I'm not a business major so it wouldn't even contribute to my degree). I think I am definitely going to make a way to plan it into my studies because $400 would be a decent price for a credential like that. Plus I am considering an MBA in the future.
The program was designed to prepare non-business majors for an MBA program. I think you'd be the ideal candidate for the program. If you find anything out about the HES grant, feel free to post it.
I signed up to the HBX Core course a few months ago and ended up getting a refund. There's no access to the instructors or any type of 'real' discussions between students.
It feels like Coursera MOOC in my opinion, so I don't think is worth $400 for the non credit program unless you just want the Harvard name on your resume. If it was $1,000 for 4 college credits I would give it a green light because of the credits alone. But anyone can pick up some textbooks on the subject and learn the same material from textbooks alone and I'm just being honest.
