Educating leaders since 1636

Rigorous Scholarship, Rooted in Tradition

Harvard University is the oldest institution of higher learning in the United States, welcoming students and scholars from around the world to Cambridge, Massachusetts. We believe talent exists everywhere and that a Harvard education should be within reach regardless of family income. Our liberal arts foundation connects undergraduate study, graduate and professional schools, original research, and public service across one campus, so students can pursue knowledge and use it for the good of society.
