Enrollment

All professional studies degree courses must be taken for graduate credit. The maximum number of courses students may take in one term is four. A student cannot be enrolled as a candidate in more than one Harvard Extension School degree or certificate program at the same time. ALM credit is not awarded for any Extension School course that duplicates the subject matter of a previous course taken here for which undergraduate or graduate credit has already been received.

Ordinarily, prospective candidates must have a bachelor's degree before taking courses toward a master's degree, but Bachelor of Liberal Arts (ALB) candidates with 3.3 or higher GPAs who are within 16 units of graduation may petition to complete three graduate-level courses before the bachelor's degree has been earned. They should contact the Undergraduate Office and complete a graduate-level transfer petition form before registering for graduate courses.
