Faculty Aide Program
If you have a 3.5 or higher GPA and have completed 4 courses at the Extension School, you may become a research assistant to a faculty member through the Career and Academic Resource Center’s Faculty Aide Program.
Special Student status
Special Student status enables you to enroll in a maximum of 2 Harvard Graduate School of Arts and Sciences (GSAS) courses. All other coursework for the degree must be completed through the Harvard Extension and Harvard Summer Schools.
If you have a GPA of 3.7 or higher and have completed a minimum of 24 graduate credits at the time of your application, you may apply with recommendations from 2 Harvard Extension School instructors and your program director. This option is only for courses not ordinarily offered at the Harvard Extension or Harvard Summer Schools.
Be sure to submit the Special Student Petition (see Forms) by September 1 for spring 2012 and February 1 for the 2012-13 academic year and by the same deadlines, schedule an appointment with the program director for a preliminary interview. Tuition is $4,538 per course. The program will not accept courses that are not preapproved.
