Harvard University Extension School

Harvard University Extension School is a division of Harvard that offers flexible, accessible higher education programs, including undergraduate and graduate courses, certificates, and degree options. It is designed for adult learners, working professionals, and those seeking to advance their education without enrolling full-time. Courses are taught by Harvard faculty and other experienced instructors, often both online and in-person. While it provides a Harvard credential, it operates with a different admissions process than Harvard’s traditional undergraduate or Harvard College programs. The extension school emphasizes practical knowledge, lifelong learning, and the opportunity to benefit from Harvard’s academic resources.
