Harvard Division of Continuing Education

The Division of Continuing Education and University Extension School is a part of the Faculty of Arts and Sciences (FAS) at Harvard University responsible for various undergraduate, graduate, and non-degree programs that enroll approximately 20,000 students each year. In contrast to the other degree granting schools within FAS, such as Harvard College and the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences (GSAS), the division has open enrollment and tuition on a per course basis. This enables part-time undegraduate and graduate students, undergraduates at other colleges and universities, and adults in the Boston area access to Harvard's faculty, laboratories, library system, and facilities. The Extension School is often derided by students at the College - The Harvard Crimson famously wrote an editorial dismissing actress Hillary Duff for enrolling at the Extension School and claiming she attends "Harvard" - but it has been defended by the administration as an important part of the University.
