Summer programs let students experience the classes and culture of the Harvard Chan School while also meeting and learning from leading professors and practitioners similarly dedicated to assisting others. The Harvard Chan School offers several non-degree programs.
Summer Non-Degree
There are non-degree program options during summer, which starts in July and ends in August. Cross-registration and auditing are not permitted during summer. New students would need to apply to the prospective non-degree summer program through the Admissions Office.
