Cambridge, MA — Harvard Division of Continuing Education‘s Professional Development is proud to announce, effective immediately, we are changing our name to Professional & Executive Development to better reflect our expanded focus on senior leadership. This change better aligns with our refined mission, comprehensive curriculum, and expanding audience in organizations of all sizes.

Expanding Audience: Our programs have become increasingly attractive to individuals in leadership positions across various industries. While we continue to serve professionals at all levels, we recognize the importance of adapting to this evolving landscape and offering exceptional learning opportunities tailored to the evolving needs of senior and executive leaders.

Broader Program Portfolio: We have broadened our program offerings to senior leaders and added a Certificate of Leadership Excellence in Executive Leadership. This carefully curated set of programs offers leaders the opportunity to stay current, advance their executive skills, and learn in a global environment.

“We are excited to unveil our new name, Professional & Executive Development, which encapsulates our mission to empower managers, leaders, executives, and professionals across diverse sectors with the knowledge and skills they need to excel,” said Nancy Coleman, Dean, Harvard Division of Continuing Education and University Extension. “Our expanded program offerings and global perspective align perfectly with this rebranding effort, allowing us to make an even greater impact on the professional development landscape.”
