Dean’s welcome
Suzanne Spreadbury Welcome to the Undergraduate Program, which offers the Associate in Arts (AA) and Bachelor of Liberal Arts (ALB). Our students appreciate the intellectual rigor and professional value of a liberal arts education.
In courses held 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.
As a degree candidate, you have access to many benefits, including distinguished faculty, a diverse student body, one of the largest academic libraries in the world, outstanding museums and cultural performances, and an ample opportunity to participate in a rich community life.
Our students, whether 25, 35, or 55 years old, have chosen the programs to complement their active professional lives or creative pursuits. The range in age, background, and life experience creates an engaging learning environment that sets the stage for prestigious graduate school admission, rewarding careers, and personal enrichment.
I hope you will decide to join us; we offer the highest quality and most accessible adult education program in the United States.
Best wishes for a successful investigation and decision.
