Overview
Dean’s Welcome
Suzanne Spreadbury
Welcome to the undergraduate program. The Associate in Arts (AA) and Bachelor of Liberal Arts (ALB) degree programs are designed for nontraditional students who appreciate the intellectual rigor and professional value of a liberal arts education. From Harvard faculty, in historic Harvard Yard or online, you learn to think critically, write well, and speak with authority on a range of topics, including global climate change, biotechnology, and world religions. You can complete a degree you began elsewhere or earn your entire degree in the evening for a cost ($690–$950 per course) that is far less than traditional college tuition.
As a degree candidate you can:
- Concentrate in one of 26 fields
- Pursue professional fields through curriculum choices such as prelaw and business studies
- Study abroad, via distance education, or at Harvard College through Special Student status
- Meet with an advisor who understands your needs and goals.
- Gain a solid foundation for advancing a career or embarking on postgraduate studies
As you review this section to see how we might help you meet your professional and academic goals, be sure to read About the Program.
I hope you will decide to join us, for we offer the highest quality and most accessible adult education program in the United States.
Best wishes for a successful investigation and decision.
