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.
