How to Get A Harvard Degree Online
Harvard Extension school has made it increasingly easier to earn the better part of a Harvard degree online. Currently Harvard Extension School allows you to take courses online for credit toward undergraduate degrees in a wide variety of subjects. While you can take a majority of your courses online, Harvard still requires that you take four courses on campus before they will grant a degree (That's only 16 out of 128 total credits that you need to take on campus!). It is easier than ever to fit these on-campus courses into your schedule, since they offer courses in the evening and during the summer. To earn most of your Harvard degree online, you must first be admitted to the Harvard Extension School, but don't worry, it is not as difficult to get into Harvard Extension School as it is to get into Harvard College.
