Harvard University
Harvard is at the frontier of academic and intellectual discovery. Those who venture here—to learn, research, teach, work, and grow—join nearly four centuries of students and scholars in the pursuit of truth, knowledge, and a better world.
As a research university and nonprofit institution, Harvard is focused on creating educational opportunities for people from many lived experiences.
Harvard has 12 degree-granting Schools and the Harvard Radcliffe Institute. We also offer countless of non-degree opportunities for professional and lifelong learners, including executive education, continuing education, and online courses.
