The mission of Harvard’s Division of Continuing Education is to extend Harvard to global, lifelong part-time learners with the academic ability, curiosity, and drive to succeed in rigorous Harvard courses and programs.
In achieving our mission, we acknowledge and affirm our strong commitment to affordable access, lifelong learning, and innovation.
We also recognize the importance of making meaningful contributions to the School, the University and the world by enriching the lives of adult learners.
As members of the Harvard community, all students, faculty, and staff will actively uphold certain core values. We agree to:
- Respect the rights, differences, and dignity of others
- Demonstrate honesty and integrity in all dealings
- Pursue excellence conscientiously in our work
- Be accountable for one’s own actions and conduct in the community
- Cultivate bonds and bridges that enable all to grow with and learn from one another
The more we embrace these values, the more we create and sustain an environment of trust, cooperation, lively inquiry, and mutual understanding—and advance a commitment to education and scholarship, which all of us share.
