HGSE Courses

 

Courses offered during academic year 2022-2023 are viewable in my.Harvard. Please be aware that development of the course list is still in progress and that additions and changes will be made right up until the time of course enrollment. For that reason, it is a good idea to check Course Search in my.Harvard frequently.

 

Course Previews

Course previews at HGSE classes occur in two parts in advance of course enrollment:

 

  1. Course Previews, Part I: By viewing 8-10-minute pre-recorded videos created by the course instructors and posted to their course websites. These videos will be made available to students starting on Friday, August 26.
