International Students
The Harvard extension school accepts international students. To be admitted to courses or degrees, a student must be proficient in English. If English is not his/her native language, a student must submit an official TOEFL or IELTS score with a minimum score of 100 for the TOEFL or a minimum score of 7.0 for the IELTS. If an international student lives in the area of Boston, he/she may meet this requirement by taking the Harvard English language placement test and earning a score of 76 or higher. However, this last test does not meet the English proficiency requirement for degree program admission.
An international student may complete the residency requirement by completing 1 or 2 summer sessions through the Harvard Summer School. For instance: • Associate degree requirement: complete at least 8 credits in on-campus-only courses; • Bachelor’s degree requirement: complete 16 credits in on-campus-only courses; • Master of Liberal Arts: at least 2 semesters in residence, to take the proseminar, the field seminar, and at least 1 other on-campus-only course at Harvard Extension School or Summer School.
The Extension School does not issue I-20s for the F-1 visa but the Summer School does.

Famous quotes containing the word students:
“I know that I will always be expected to have extra insight into black texts—especially texts by black women. A working-class Jewish woman from Brooklyn could become an expert on Shakespeare or Baudelaire, my students seemed to believe, if she mastered the language, the texts, and the critical literature. But they would not grant that a middle-class white man could ever be a trusted authority on Toni Morrison.”
—Claire Oberon Garcia, African American scholar and educator. Chronicle of Higher Education, p. B2 (July 27, 1994)
