Harvard Extension School at Harvard University

Harvard Extension School has been nurturing minds and advancing careers since 1910. We were founded on the radical idea of making a high-quality education accessible and affordable to many.

As one of 12 degree-granting institutions at Harvard University, we teach to the largest and most eclectic student body. We offer:

• Undergraduate degrees
• Graduate degrees
• Professional graduate certificates
• 700+ courses that meet:
  • In the evening in Harvard Square
  • Online weekly, featuring video lectures or live web conferences
  • Online with an intensive learning weekend on the Harvard campus

Research projects in which students and staff are invited to participate as subjects, whether for survey or scholarly research, must be approved in advance by Academic Services and in some cases, the Committee on the Use of Human Subjects in Research.

The Extension School ensures that students and staff are not subject to research procedures that are inappropriate, require excessive time commitments, interfere with the educational process, or violate Extension School and University policies.

Career services can help you strengthen your study skills or improve your résumé. Find job postings, attend free workshops, and get help preparing for graduate school and beyond.

In addition to free workshops, the Career and Academic Resource Center at Harvard Extension School offers the following career services to registered Harvard Extension School students, degree candidates, and alumni.
