Harvard Online courses are delivered through the HBS Online, edX, and GetSmarter learning platforms.
You can now find all Harvard Online courses on this website. While these programs are still delivered via HBS Online’s course platform, they’ve been moved to a new website due to their interdisciplinary nature.
HBS Online will continue to focus on delivering business-focused certificate courses, while the Harvard Online website offers programs that combine faculty and disciplines from across the university—from the Faculty of Arts and Sciences to Harvard Medical School and beyond.
