Taking Courses at HGSE

Special Students

A select number of applicants for non-degree study may be admitted to take up to two courses per year during the 2008-2009 academic year. This option is available for professional educators seeking to enhance current work, college or university faculty from institutions other than Harvard, and advanced graduate students seeking to enhance their degree program. Course enrollment is on a space-available basis and is limited to HGSE courses only.
