U.S. immigration updates: The May 29 court decision allows the University to continue enrolling international students and scholars while the case moves forward. Harvard will continue to take steps to protect the rights of our international students and scholars, members of our community who are vital to the University’s academic mission and community — and whose presence here benefits our country immeasurably.

Setting Yourself Up for Success at HES

You’re smart, driven, and love a challenge — but you’re still concerned about how to make going back to school as a working adult really work in your real life. At Harvard Extension School (HES) we know that going back to school as a working adult is a big commitment.

  • Heard work-life-academic balance tips and firsthand experiences
