Harvard University: An Introduction General Information: Harvard was founded in 1636 by vote of the Great and
General Court of the Massachusetts Bay Colony and named for its first donor,
the Reverend John Harvard, who left his personal library and half his estate to
the new institution. Harvard University is the oldest institution of higher
learning in the United States. The University as a whole has grown from nine
students with a single masters’ degree to an enrollment of more than 18,000
degree candidates, including undergraduates and students in 10 principal
academic units. An additional 13,000 students are enrolled in one or more
courses in the Harvard Extension School. Over 14,000 people work at Harvard,
including more than 2,000 faculty. There are also 7,000 faculty appointments in
affiliated teaching hospitals.
There is no single office at Harvard University that handles admissions for
all students to all programs. Instead, each school maintains its own
admissions office and specialized staff to meet the needs of prospective
students. The information on the pages that follow is intended to provide a
general overview of the University’s offerings.

Undergraduate Program:
Harvard College General Information: Since its founding in 1636, Harvard College has assembled promising students and distinguished faculty and provided them with
an environment and resources to develop their talents to the fullest. Students
come from all 50 states and from over 95 countries around the world; from cities, suburbs, small towns and farms; from public, private and parochial schools; from
every ethnic and religious background; and from across the economic spectrum.
Based on longstanding tradition and backed by generous financial policies, Harvard is committed to making its educational opportunities accessible to all,
regardless of citizenship.
Harvard offers its students everything necessary for a liberal education in more
than forty fields of study. Undergraduates choose from nearly 3500 courses in
pursuing either a bachelor of arts (AB) or a bachelor of science (SB). Students learn in classrooms and laboratories from professors who are leading authorities
in their fields. All members of Harvard’s world-renowned Faculty of Arts and Sciences teach undergraduate students.
Just as important, Harvard offers its undergraduates the privilege of living and
studying with exceptionally talented and motivated peers from all over the globe.

Much of the value of a Harvard education lies in things learned outside the classroom and in the relationships established with others in the community, especially with fellow students. To this end, Harvard provides an intimate residential system, and nearly all students choose to live on campus during their four years as undergraduates. Harvard also offers extensive extracurricular opportunities with over 400 official student organizations including performing and visual arts groups, student government, public service organizations, ethnic and cultural groups, publications, and 42 varsity athletic teams.

Harvard School of Dental Medicine General Information: Founded in 1867, the Harvard School of Dental Medicine
(HSDM) was the first university-based US dental school, and the first to develop
a close affiliation with a medical school (Harvard Medical School). HSDM offers
candidates an unparalleled opportunity to draw on the resources of a world-
renowned University and medical center in the education of its dental students.
At its heart, the program considers dentistry a specialty of medicine with a
curriculum that fully integrates oral and systemic health to achieve patient-
centered comprehensive care.
Students in the Doctor of Dental Medicine (DMD) degree program study basic
sciences with their Medical School classmates at Harvard Medical School their
first year gaining an appreciation of the human mind, body, and spirit. Students
have the opportunity to make an early connection between their medical courses
and their future profession with clinical rotations at major affiliated hospitals in
the Boston area such as Massachusetts General Hospital and Boston Children’s
Hospital. The opportunity to learn firsthand the importance of the doctor-patient
relationship, and participation in research, results in a deep understanding of the
synergy of oral health and general health. A pass/fail grading system encourages a
high level of collaboration and support, and the small class size of 35 students,
the smallest in the country, encourages a highly interactive small-group learning
environment with faculty members who serve as teachers, advocates and mentors.
Students are engaged in a team-based, case-based learning format that fosters
critical thinking and the development of lifelong learning skills important to
health care providers.
The exploration of research at Harvard permits students to participate in a world-
class environment that sets the standard for basic discoveries, clinical application,
and research training in dental medicine. Advanced Graduate Education (AGE)
programs at Harvard School of Dental Medicine lead to a Master of Medical
Science (MMSc) or Doctor of Medical Science (DMSc) with a certificate in a
specialty: Dental Public Health, Endodontics, Oral Medicine, Oral and
Maxillofacial Pathology, Orthodontics, Periodontology, Prosthodontics, Dental
Education (MMSc only), and the joint HSDM/Forsyth Institute Research
Academy (DMSc only). HSDM also offers certificates in General Practice
Residency at Mass General Hospital and Cambridge Health Alliance, Pediatric
Dentistry, Implant Dentistry, Geriatric Dentistry, and Dental Public Health.

Harvard Divinity School General Information: The most religiously diverse divinity school in the United States, HDS’s student body and faculty includes more than 30 different faiths and denominations. The School is a model for the kind of informed pluralism that will be ever more critical for the United States and the wider world in the decades to come.
The HDS faculty includes some of the world’s top scholars of Christianity, Buddhism, Hinduism, Islam, Judaism, and many other traditions. And the School’s doctoral program is one of the main sources of faculty for religious studies departments at top institutions throughout the country. At the same time, the preparation of religious leaders is also central to this endeavor—as it has been at HDS for 200 years, and at Harvard for nearly four centuries.
Because religion is deeply intertwined with virtually every area of knowledge, its study at HDS is inherently interdisciplinary. The Master of Theological Studies program, for instance, includes 18 different areas of focus, and enables exploration of a variety of religious traditions, and allows for studies in politics and ethics, social science, and literature and culture, to name just a few.
The curriculum assures that students have sufficient latitude in shaping their individual courses of study within a basic framework deemed essential to the preparation of leaders in ministry, religious studies, and a wide range of professional fields. Students are encouraged to draw on the impressive range of resources not only of the Divinity School, but also of other schools within Harvard University and member institutions of the Boston Theological Institute.
The study of theology and religion at Harvard Divinity School thus enables its graduates to pursue diverse vocations in ordained and lay ministry, in scholarship and education, and in the human services, journalism, medicine, law, government, and numerous other professions. Degree programs offered are the master of divinity (MDiv), master of theological studies (MTS), master of theology (ThM), and doctorate of philosophy (PhD) which is offered jointly with the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences, and is administered by the Committee on the Study of Religion.

Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health Powerful ideas for a healthier world General Information: The Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health grew out
of the Harvard-MIT School for Health Officers, the nation’s first graduate
training program in public health. The School aims to deliver an evidence-based
educational experience to prepare students, through study, research, and practice,
to address public health challenges of the twenty-first century. Furthermore, the
School works to create and sustain a vibrant and inclusive intellectual community
with an environment that fosters the acquisition of knowledge and skills about
diversity, equity, cultural competence, and advocacy to improve public health
locally, nationally, and globally.
The field of public health is inherently multi-disciplinary. So, too, are the interests
and expertise of the School’s faculty and students, which extend across the biological, quantitative, and social sciences. We are able to confront the most
pressing diseases of our time—AIDS, cancer, and heart disease—by adding to our
knowledge of their underlying structure and function. Core quantitative
disciplines like epidemiology and biostatistics are fundamental to analyzing the
broad impact of health problems, allowing us to look beyond individuals to entire
populations. And, because preventing disease is at the heart of public health, we
also pursue the social sciences to better understand health-related behaviors and
their societal influences—critical elements in educating and empowering people
to make healthier lifestyle choices.
Harvard Chan School is organized into nine academic departments, which form
the loci of most teaching and research activity. Degrees offered by Harvard
Chan School are doctor of public health (DrPH), master of public health
(MPH-45 credit and MPH-65 credit), master of science (SM-42.5-credit, 60-
credit, and 80-credit programs), master in health care management (MHCM), as
well as the doctor of philosophy (PhD) offered under the aegis of Harvard
Graduate School of Arts and Sciences.
The Harvard Chan School also offers several dual/ joint master’s degrees: • MD or DO/MPH • DMD or DDS/MPH • JD/MPH (with Harvard Law School only) • MSN/MPH (master of science in nursing, with Simmons
College only) • MUP/MPH (master of urban planning with Harvard
Graduate School of Design only)
