Can I really earn a
Harvard University
Online Degree? A degree from Harvard University represents one of the most prestigious academic accomplishments in the world. Now, by way of its extension school, there are dozens of Harvard University online courses available to students. Although they are yet to offer a complete online degree program, they do offer two graduate-level online certificate programs that may be completed entirely online: Applied Sciences and Environmental Management. Alternately, you can simply take a few classes in a subject that interests you such as accounting or linguistics to spice up your resume. Please note, if you are interested in earning a degree through the Harvard Extension School, you may do so, but you will have to combine online courses with some classroom attendance. If you are unable to meet this requirement and would like to earn a complete degree or certificate online from a high caliber institution, check out one of these top-ranked schools: Cornell, University of Notre Dame, Boston University, and Tulane University. Harvard University Online Tuition Tuition is charged per course and varies depending on whether the course is being taken for noncredit, undergraduate, or graduate credit. Tuition varies, but figure on spending between $800 and $1975 per course (reduced tuition is available for certain courses if you take the course on a non-credit basis). Harvard University Distance education snapshot:
Distance education allows students living around the world to experience Harvard through a variety of Extension School courses. Lectures conducted on campus are videotaped, then made available online along with course-related material. Local students may attend lectures in person or watch them online and frequently enjoy the benefits of doing both. In some cases, courses are available only online. All students complete the same coursework. Much of the communication between faculty and students occurs by e-mail and course websites. Many courses also have a bulletin board or chat room to foster dialogue among students and the teaching staff. Credit toward degrees and certificates You may earn a degree or certificate through a combination of online and on-campus courses. Some programs do require a minimum residency, so be sure to review requirements carefully. Currently, only the Certificate in Environmental Management and Certificate in Applied Sciences may be completed entirely online. (Harvard University Extension School, 2007, para. 1-2)
