The Faculty of Arts and Sciences (FAS) - encompasses Harvard College, the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences, the Division of Engineering and Applied Sciences, and the Division of Continuing Education.

Division of Engineering and Applied Sciences (DEAS) - offers a unique interdisciplinary curriculum that encourages both undergraduate and graduate students to combine their engineering and applied sciences studies with work in the many other disciplines of a great liberal arts education and in the area pursued by several of Harvard University’s renowned graduate schools.

Department of Physics - With nine Nobel Prize winners to its credit the distinguished faculty of today engages in teaching and research that spans the discipline and defines its borders, and as a result Harvard is consistently one of the top-ranked physics departments in the nation.

Center for Nanoscale Systems (CNS) - CNS was created to assist and support the community of Harvard University researchers and collaborators. The inclusion of CNS in the National Nanotechnology Infrastructure Network (NNIN) in 2004 has expanded that function to include any and all other members of the larger research community both local and national, academic and non-academic who conduct research in any aspect of the large and growing field of nanoscale science.

Materials Research Science and Engineering Center (MRSEC) - The Harvard Materials Research Science and Engineering Center (MRSEC) is a National Science Foundation funded project that is focused on interdisciplinary research at Harvard. The participants of the MRSEC are drawn from five different departments. The MRSEC is centered in the Division of Engineering and Applied Sciences (DEAS), an ideal home for an interdisciplinary enterprise; DEAS has no departments, providing a strong incentive for interdisciplinary research. Harvard is encouraging interdisciplinary research and education, and the MRSEC is leading this new effort.

Nanoscale Science and Engineering Center (NSEC) - is a National Science Foundation funded project that is a collaboration among Harvard University, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, the University of California at Santa Barbara and the Museum of Science, Boston with participation by Delft University of Technology (Netherlands), the University of Basel (Switzerland), the University of Tokyo (Japan), and Brookhaven, Oak Ridge and Sandia National Laboratories.
The NSEC combines “top down” and “bottom up” approaches to construct novel electronic and magnetic devices with nanoscale sizes and understand their behavior, including quantum phenomena. Through a close integration of research, education, and public outreach, the Center encourages and promotes the training of a diverse group of people to be leaders in this new interdisciplinary field.

Center for Ultracold Atoms (CUA) - The Center for Ultracold Atoms (CUA) brings together a community of scientists from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and Harvard University to pursue research in the new fields that that have been opened by the creation of ultracold atoms and quantum gases.

Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory (SAO) - The Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory (SAO), a member of the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics, is a research facility of the Smithsonian Institution, located in Cambridge, MA.

The Rowland Institute - is dedicated to experimental science over a broad range of disciplines. Current research is carried out in physics, chemistry, and biology, with an emphasis on interdisciplinary work and the development of new experimental tools.
