School Year: 2022-2023

Current Curriculum Plan

Alumni of the Harvard Macy Institute and Center for Medical Simulation courses are required to complete a portfolio if they want to waive any courses. Work completed in these courses may be applied for up to 12 credits toward degree completion. Specific requirements for each course waived are described further in the HPEd program manual.

This program is designed as a 33-credit part-time offering which can be completed over two years. To provide additional flexibility for learners, the courses may be spread out over up to five years. 

Registration in the one credit HE-743 Convocation Seminar will be required for each year beyond the initial two years, resulting in one additional required credit per year.
