Academics
Harvard Extension School maintains a rigorous academic environment. The ALB program is intended to be equivalent to the traditional Harvard AB in terms of academics, while the ALM program is "in every way as challenging as that of graduate degree programs in other Harvard schools" For those students registered in individual courses, the school offers an opportunity to experience an Ivy League classroom. Students are allowed to explore subjects that interest them or build skills to advance their career. The Extension School has almost six-hundred course offerings, taught by Harvard instructors.

Famous quotes containing the word academics:
“Almost all scholarly research carries practical and political implications. Better that we should spell these out ourselves than leave that task to people with a vested interest in stressing only some of the implications and falsifying others. The idea that academics should remain “above the fray” only gives ideologues license to misuse our work.”
—Stephanie Coontz (b. 1944)
“Our first line of defense in raising children with values is modeling good behavior ourselves. This is critical. How will our kids learn tolerance for others if our hearts are filled with hate? Learn compassion if we are indifferent? Perceive academics as important if soccer practice is a higher priority than homework?”
—Fred G. Gosman (20th century)
