HARVARD AT A GLANCE

 

Naming

The name Harvard comes from the college’s first benefactor, the young English minister (clergyman) JOHN HARVARD of Charlestown. Upon his death in 1638, he left his school library and half his estate to the institution of a college, established in 1636 by vote of the Great and General Court of the Massachusetts Bay Colony.

Undergraduate Cost And Financial Aid


Families with students on scholarship pay an average of $12,000 annually toward the cost of a Harvard education. More than 55 percent of Harvard College students receive scholarship aid, and the average grant this year is $50,000.  

Since 2007, Harvard’s investment in financial aid has climbed by more than 75 percent, from $96.6 million to $170 million per year.

During the 2012-2013 academic year, students from families with incomes below $65,000, and with assets typical for that income level, will generally pay nothing toward the cost of attending


HARVARD COLLEGE.
Families with incomes between $65,000 and $150,000 will contribute from 0 to 10 percent of income, depending on individual circumstances.  Significant financial aid also is available for families above those income ranges.

Harvard College launched a net price calculator into which applicants and their families can enter their financial data to estimate the net price they will be expected to pay for a year at Harvard.  Please use the calculator to estimate the net cost of attendance.

The total 2016-2017 cost of attending Harvard College without financial aid is $43,280 for tuition and $63,025 for tuition, room, board, and fees combined.

The title of University Professor was created in 1935 to honor individuals whose groundbreaking work crosses the boundaries of multiple disciplines, allowing them to pursue research at any of Harvard’s Schools. View the list of University Professors.

 

Harvard Campaign

The Harvard Campaign is designed to embrace the future and to ensure Harvard’s leadership as it approaches its fifth century of education and inquiry in the pursuit of enduring truth.

 


HARVARD UNIVERSITY SHIELDS

 

 

 

 

Harvard and the Military


Members of Harvard University’s “Long Crimson Line” have served in the United States Armed Forces since before the nation’s independence. 

Harvard counts among its graduates 18 Medal of Honor recipients, more than any other institution of higher education except the United States Military and Naval Academies. Buildings and sites around campus are daily reminders of Harvard’s deep military history. 

General George Washington kept headquarters at Wadsworth House before taking command of the revolutionary troops in 1775, Massachusetts Hall and Harvard Hall were used as barracks, and building materials were repurposed to make musket balls during the War of Independence. 

Memorial Hall and Memorial Church honor the sacrifice of Harvard men and women who “freely gave their lives and fondest hopes for us and our allies that we might learn from them courage in peace to spend our lives making a better world for others.” In 2011, Harvard welcomed the Naval Reserve Officers Training Corps (ROTC) program back to campus, followed thereafter by the full complement of Army and Air Force regiments.

 

HarvardX

HarvardX is a University-wide strategic initiative, overseen by the Office of the Vice Provost for Advances in Learning (VPAL), enabling faculty to create open, online courses for on campus and global learners and advancing research in the learning sciences.  

To date, HarvardX has engaged more than 120 faculty across ten schools, producing more than 80 open online courses with over 1.5 million unique course participants.  

On campus, HarvardX has enabled hybrid learning in over a dozen residential courses and convened over 300 individuals (faculty, undergraduates, graduates, technologists) in developing content, conducting research, or blending courses. 

A leader in advancing the science of learning, HarvardX and VPAL Research have produced more than 100 research publications and two major benchmark reports on MOOC learner demographics and behavior.
