Undergraduate Degree Programs

Bachelor’s and associate degrees

Harvard Extension School’s Associate in Arts (AA) and Bachelor of Liberal Arts (ALB) degrees are designed for nontraditional students who want a challenging academic experience but need a program that is flexible and convenient given their active lives.

You can complete an undergraduate education that you began elsewhere, or earn your entire degree studying part time in evening and in online classes that range in tuition from $995 to $1,175 per course. Our blended degree program requires just a minimum residency of 16 credits of on-campus courses for the ALB and for the AA.

The ALB degree is open to students who do not already have a bachelor’s degree. The AA degree is open to students with no prior degrees and less than 16 transferable undergraduate credits.
