The Harvard Extension School Mission

Since our founding in 1910, Harvard Extension School’s mission has been to extend Harvard to the world — to adult learners who have the curiosity and drive to be challenged. 

As one of 12 degree-granting institutions at Harvard University, we teach to the largest and most eclectic student body. Our students come to us from every time zone, every culture and professional background, every age from 18 to 89.
