That is great. I wonder if the graduate credit is in English.

Looks like it's UL too.

In addition to the summer course for $200, there will be two more courses for $200 in the fall. That would make 12 graduate credits in English from Harvard University for $600.

Oh ratfink.

There is conflicting info. Those links are 2017 links. Some other pages say $200 for all credit levels. I will keep my eyes open.

I believe the pricing is incorrect on the subpages. The PDF says ALL of these are $200/UG/Grad: http://www.poetryinamerica.org/wp-conten...licity.pdf

Edit: I am guessing they'll update this soon, as Summer registration opens March 1st.

How would someone get it transcribed as grad credit vs. undergrad? Would they have to be enrolled in a Grad school somewhere?

I will be in the English undergrad at TESU soon, so I fear they would make it undergrad credit?

It would transfer as grad credit. Grad credit can be used as UL undergrad, if needed, however for this course you could just take the undergrad version. Be careful as many grad schools will refuse to consider grad credit earned before your undergrad degree is conferred. Schools that have a BA/MA type program make a special exception for their own program.

Harvard transcripts the credits as graduate credit. There is still some question in my mind about how the graduate credit is transcripted. This is from the pdf:

In 2018, Poetry in America is partnering with
Harvard to offer a reduced rate of $200 for all
credit levels, including undergraduate credit
and graduate credit via the Harvard Extension
School, and teacher professional development
via the Harvard Graduate School of Education.

So, it is possible that the graduate credit might be EDU credit, but this seems to suggest that it could be graduate English credit via the Harvard Extension School.
