Harvard Summer School Study Abroad Programs's Mission Statement

Expect a true Harvard experience, engage your intellectual curiosity with Harvard faculty, and study in a range of fields. Harvard study abroad programs are both demanding and rewarding. Because programs are led exclusively by faculty, students find the same Harvard-quality education they encounter on campus in Cambridge. Programs span 5 to 10 weeks and are limited enrollment. All programs are 8 credits, and the credits are accepted toward degrees at most colleges and universities. Harvard study abroad programs are selective. To apply, students must be at least 18, have completed 1 year of college or be a first-year student, and be in good academic standing. Admission criteria are outlined on each program webpage.
