Amid its initial years, Harvard College offered an exemplary scholastic course focused around the English college model combined with the predominating Puritan rationality of the early settlers. Harvard College was approximately subsidiary with the Congregationalist church; as anyone might expect a large portion of its first graduates got to be pastors all through New England, while different graduates entered taxpayer supported organization or private business.
Educational program
Harvard College's course of study was like the curricula of Cambridge and Oxford colleges. Dissimilar to the English model, Dunster initially made an educational program for Harvard that just endured three years, yet in 1652 a fourth year was included. The Harvard central subject turned into a model for American training establishments to take after universities as well as syntax schools and institutes that arranged understudies for higher learning and university studies. The educational program from its establishing through the eighteenth century was religious; early nineteenth-century studies extended the educational program to incorporate Latin, Greek, arithmetic (counting stargazing), English creation, logic, philosophy, common rationality, and either Hebrew or French. This recommended course of study created an example for American liberal expressions schools. The most well-known types of direction were oral exercises–the address, the declamation, and the question.

Charles W. Eliot, who served as president from 1869 to 1909, changed the school into a current college, a deed finished fundamentally by changing the educational program. Albeit course electives existed at Harvard all through the nineteenth century, Eliot turned into an unrelenting promoter of the elective framework, which thusly allowed him to start institutional change where school studies could suit more extensive and additionally more particular diversions of understudies. The elective framework allowed Harvard to end up more receptive to the numerous developing law based, mechanical, and professional necessity of community. After  twentieth century, Harvard's selective framework was the freest in the nation with no subject prerequisites for studies past the first year.
