Graduate Admissions in Harvard Extension School

Graduate Admissions in Harvard Extension School

In general, admission to a graduate program at Harvard Extension School requires a minimum of an accredited degree (or foreign equivalent), as well as performing three pre admission courses with grades of B or higher and a minimum of 3.0 GPA. One of the three courses must be pre-admission course "Pro seminar" for the desired study area, which is similar to a course of traditional research methods. Certain disciplines have other specified pre-admission courses, while some have specific courses required before submitting the master thesis proposal (for example, the fields of biology and psychology must take a specific course graduate statistics). Before enrolling in a Pro seminar, students must successfully pass a placement test that measures critical reading and writing. Students who meet these criteria are then eligible to apply for admission to graduate programs.


Once the student has met the requirement of three courses, he or she is eligible to apply formally to the ALM program. Normally, applicants must submit a completed application, proof of an accredited degree (or equivalent in foreign currency), as well as transcripts, resume, two essays, and a non-refundable application fee. Some programs require additional specific classes to be part of the three initials before formal admission. Students will be denied admission indefinitely if they fail to earn a grade of B after registering twice in the course Pro seminar.
