Harvard Courses
Whether you are an undergraduate or a graduate student, Harvard offers a wealth of courses in a variety of scientific disciplines and policy areas that cover learning, behavior, and health from both domestic and international perspectives. To illustrate the variety of options available to students, a selection of courses offered by the Center on the Developing Child’s affiliated faculty appears below.
Students with interests in research and application, in the underlying biological foundations of child development, in the social and environmental contexts that influence health and well-being, in program development and evaluation, or in policy areas ranging from children and families to economic development and human capital formation to education to mental health, will find much to choose from across the campus. Talk with your advisor to help tailor your choices accordingly.
Please note that some courses may not be offered every academic year. For further details about specific courses, please contact the appropriate School’s registrar for the most up-to-date information.
