At Harvard Kennedy School, the well-being of our community is our top priority, so the campus is currently closed. All degree program classes will be conducted online for the remainder of the semester. Read about our executive education programs or check other information about the coronavirus.
“The Harvard Kennedy School's academic and administrative leaders advance our mission to improve public policy and public leadership. By doing the right sorts of work in the right ways, we can ensure that the Kennedy School is a powerful force for good in the world.”
