"We are all lifelong learners. Harvard Extension School provides great access to higher education to those who want to continue to explore unfamiliar academic areas and hone new skills."

"I grew up in Kansas very far from the world of academia. I wasn’t a great student in high school and started out at a community college. I love that the Extension School provides access to higher education for folks who may not have been given clear pathways into that world or may not initially see themselves in it."
