One course must be EXPO 25 Academic Writing and Critical Reading. * Apply to a BA or MA program. * Pass the online Academic Integrity tutorials. * Maintain an undergraduate GPA of at least C; graduate, B. * A minimum TOEFL score of 100 is required. If you don¡¯t have a TOEFL score of at least 100, don¡¯t panic: There are ways to earn a 100 while you study your first three classes at Harvard. * Transfer students can transfer 64 of 128 undergrad credits. * For the BA, four (4) courses must be taken on the Harvard campus. The others, some 28 courses, can be taken online or on campus, or in a combination of online and campus classes. Tuition Here is where you will earn significant value in addition to your
Harvard degree: you will save a boatload of money. Undergraduate tuition at Harvard is $43,938 per year in 2015. If you live on campus, Room and Board will cost $14,669 in 2015.

The Harvard Extension School is very rigorous. I know this from personal experience because I studied Marketing there 1991- 1992. I was working full-time, so I figured I would take one course per term, and devote every Saturday to study. I was wrong. To earn top scores and stay at the head of the class, I studied all day Saturday, all day Sunday, and often Monday evenings. My Global Marketing professor told me I wrote the best Case Studies in the class of 45-50 students ¨C but he gave me only an A- for a final score! Plus it¡¯s super competitive. Most of the students are young professionals who are highly motivated. For example, one of my classmates earned his BA degree from Harvard Extension School; he then went on to graduate Harvard Law School. Special note: Harvard Extension School does not issue the I-20 required for an F-1 student visa. Harvard Summer School does issue the I-20. The F-1 is now good for multiple entries over 5-10 years, thus international students will have plenty of time to fulfill the requirement for four (4) on-campus classes, or even to study full- time at Harvard.
