Admission Policy
While the Harvard Extension School is one of the thirteen schools that make up Harvard University, a student does not have to be officially admitted to a program in order to register for individual courses. But in order to be admitted to a degree-granting program, a student must meet specific requirements and officially apply for admission to the university. Harvard Extension School's aim, in the words of President Lawrence A. Lowell, is "systematic popular education". The Extension School has enrolled more than 500,000 students and currently enrolls about 14,000 per year in individual courses.
