C. Griffin Graduate School of Arts and Sciences, founded in 1872), Harvard Athletics and the Division of Continuing Education. The 40 academic departments and 30+ centers of the FAS support a community unparalleled in its academic excellence across the broadest range of liberal arts and sciences disciplines. Together, the FAS seeks to foster an environment of ambition, curiosity and shared commitment to knowledge and truth that elicits excellence from all members of our community and prepares the next generation of leaders through a transformative educational experience.

The Human Flourishing Program at Harvard's Institute for Quantitative Social Science (HFH) aims to study and promote human flourishing, and to develop systematic approaches to the synthesis of knowledge across disciplines.

As part of this mission, the Program has launched a series of initiatives focused on making impact and advancing human flourishing out into the world. The recently launched initiative, the Academic Flourishing Initiative (AFI), focuses on using the flourishing measure to assess if colleges and universities are achieving their vision and mission statements -- which typically aspire to transform students into intellectually capable and virtuous leaders of society.
