I found something that looks very cool!
The Harvard Extension School
I am interested in the Master of Liberal Arts (ALM) which encompasses over 20 fields of study across the liberal arts and professional disciplines. Subjects range from traditional humanities and social sciences (such as Anthropology, English, History, and Psychology) to specialized professional and STEM programs (including Biotechnology, Data Science, Cybersecurity, Management, and Sustainability). All ALM candidates must complete 12 courses—48 credit hours—to earn their degree. Most fields of study require students to complete either an in-depth thesis or a capstone project, which is typically crafted under the direction of an instructor or faculty member holding a teaching appointment in the Harvard Faculty of Arts and Sciences.
Graduate Admissions:
Application to a graduate degree program requires an accredited four-year bachelor’s degree (or foreign equivalent), passing the Test of Critical Reading and Writing Skills, the completion of two or three designated pre-admission courses with grades of B or higher, and a minimum cumulative grade-point average of 3.0. One of the pre-admission courses must be the “proseminar” course for the intended area of study, which is akin to a traditional research methods course. Some disciplines have additional specified pre-admission coursework, while others have specific coursework that is required before submitting a master’s thesis proposal (biology and psychology students must take a specific graduate statistics course). In addition, several programs require supplemental application materials; for instance, Creative Writing and Literature ALM candidates must submit original manuscripts. Students who meet these criteria are then eligible to submit an application for admission into the graduate degree programs (ALM).
A student who fails to earn a grade of B after twice enrolling in the proseminar course—often considered a “gatekeeper” course—will be denied admission indefinitely.
VERY COOL INDEED
