Courses that respect the full lives and varied preferences of adult, part-time learners.
Personal
Whether a class has 15 learners or 300, each student gets timely individual feedback.
Organic
Iterative course design keeps courses fresh and relevant for students and instructors.
Open to all
Everyone has the opportunity to earn credit in rigorous, Harvard-quality courses.
Education is about being vulnerable. It’s about being unsettled, unnerved, unhoused – being open to that which you are not used to. To have to de-familiarize yourself to ways of being in the world – Harvard Extension is magnificent in that regard."
