Distance Education
While we encourage you to join us at Harvard this summer, we know that some of you may not be able to travel to Cambridge. We would like to offer you another option.
In 2005, Harvard Summer School is offering, via the Internet, several distance education courses (below). These courses feature videos of on-campus course lectures, along with other course-related materials, which can be viewed by students anywhere in the world. Students who take distance education courses online complete the same coursework as students who take the courses on campus, so the credits earned via distance education are recorded on an official Harvard transcript and are transferable toward a future undergraduate degree at most colleges and universities.
High school students who are interested in enrolling in one or two of these courses should check the course descriptions carefully and note especially the listed prerequisites. Secondary school students who wish to take a distance education course should complete the SSP application online, and they should read the technical requirements, policies, and other information about distance education.
