Visiting Students
The Visiting Student program affords a one-time opportunity for nondegree students to do coursework at Harvard Divinity School. For more information, introduce yourself.
Overview
Visiting Students (formerly Special Students) may enroll for a maximum of eight half courses for credit within a period of two years. International students accepted under this status must enroll for a minimum of three half courses for credit each term.
Students receive full credit for work completed in this program and may transfer these credits elsewhere, or in some cases may petition to have some or all of the work count toward completion of one of the degree programs of the Divinity School.
How to Apply
The application requirements for Visiting Student applicants are the same as those for the Master of Divinity and Master of Theological Studies programs with the exception of the writing sample. Learn more about the application process as a Visiting Student.
