Classes Open to Visitors, Fall 2009

Each semester, Harvard Divinity School faculty members open their classes to visiting prospective students, in order to allow them to explore the academic life of HDS. We encourage you to attend a class while you are in Cambridge.

Please note that classes listed at beginning on the hour will begin eight minutes after the hour. If an ending time is not listed, the class is 50 minutes long. Divinity Hall, Andover Hall, and Rockefeller Hall are located on the Divinity School Campus. Other locations can be found on the Harvard University Map.

In order to minimize disruptions, we ask that visitors arrive on time and plan to stay until the end of class.
