Harvard College is the undergraduate liberal arts and sciences program within Harvard University, which also includes twelve graduate schools. With world-class faculty, groundbreaking research opportunities, and a commitment to a diverse environment of bright and talented students, Harvard College is more than just a place to get an education—it's where students come to be transformed.

Academics: Harvard offers students the freedom and support to pick a “concentration” from 50 fields of study, and the general education curriculum ensures exposure to many academic disciplines. Students build close and enduring relationships with professors who challenge them to see with new eyes and serve as models of engaged, conscientious leadership. Research is the key that unlocks new knowledge, and Harvard puts that power into students’ hands through hands-on research projects from the time they arrive on campus.

Residential Life: At the heart of Harvard College are the residential Houses - undergraduate dorm complexes - where students eat their meals and live and learn alongside their peers, faculty members, and advisors. Each House hosts age-old House traditions and spirited events, and students feel great pride in their House affiliations. As a smaller home within the College, each House offers an enriching and supportive environment where students grow as individuals and as members of their community. 

Co-curricular Activities: With over 500 student organizations, more than 3,400 students participating in the arts, ~80% of students competing in various levels of athletics, and more than 125 active community service programs, students can meet new people, pursue their interests or discover new ones, and enrich their understanding of the world and the people in it.

Traditions and Alumni Life: At Harvard, students participate in beloved community traditions such as Housing Day, the Harvard-Yale football game, and Commencement. Upon graduation, they join a dynamic and vibrant network of alumni that spans the globe, offering community, connection, and support for the rest of their lives.
