    Harvard College is the oldest institution of higher education that offers a four-year undergraduate, liberal arts programme for students seeking their first degree. On the other hand, Harvard University includes 12 graduate and professional schools, all of which offer programs for students who already hold their first degrees and seek advanced training in their fields through master's or doctoral programs.

    Harvard College is the undergraduate core of Harvard University. It only awards bachelor’s degrees and is one of the oldest institute of higher education. All graduate and professional degrees are conferred by Harvard University. All the graduate and professional schools maintain their own admissions offices and teaching faculties, and are run independently of Harvard College.
