1. Display it with a Harvard campus photo
Your Harvard degree deserves a special display that you won’t find elsewhere. After all, its university ranks among the highest worldwide. We’re proud to partner with The Harvard Coop Store to provide officially licensed frames designed exclusively for the campus bookstore.
Images of iconic college landmarks have a way of instantly transporting us to our home away from home, and our Harvard Campus Scene frame does just that. Featuring a full-color photograph of Widener Library in Fall by award-winning artist Charles McVicker, the Campus Scene degree holder exudes beauty and charm in any home or office setting.
2. Explore various frame styles
Another easy way to make your Harvard University diploma stand out is to choose a distinct frame style to add color and sophistication to any decor. For example, consider showing off your crimson pride with our most elegant Harvard diploma frame, the Presidential Masterpiece. This stately frame features a gorgeous Harvard crimson linen mat, our widest-profile moulding, and a handpainted medallion of the Harvard school seal medallion.
No matter which style you choose for your degree program, you can further customize our mat colors, hardwood mouldings, and UV-protective glass options to your liking. You’ll want a graduation frame that protects your diploma and will prevent any discoloration, brittleness, or cracking. Museum-quality document protection, a feature of our premium frames, offers conservation-quality matting, backing, and mounting materials.
3. Customize it based on your specialty
You can also make your Harvard University diploma stand out by customizing it based on what you studied in school. Whether you earned your undergraduate or graduate or doctorate degree, customizing your frame with your specific Harvard program is a sure way to celebrate your unique achievements. Simply click the drop-down menu and select the Graduate & School-Specific Programs to find Harvard grad schools or your particular field of study.

Your determination to earn a doctorate and serve the public interest is commendable.

Select one of our sleek made-in-the-USA Harvard Law degree frames.
If you graduated from the MBA program
As a graduate of Harvard’s MBA program, you have the leadership skills and preparation to thrive in the business world. You’ve spent time building up your analytical expertise and you’re ready to face today’s evolving global markets.
We know you mean business, as Harvard master’s degree denotes just that. Whether you’re in a public building or have a home office setup, business graduate students deserve commemoration. Celebrate that badge of honor with a handcrafted diploma frame that’s specifically designed for a Harvard Business School graduate.
4. Create a graduation stole arrangement
For a wall display that is equally nostalgic and academically impressive, choose a frame with black moulding. Then pair it with our graduation stole frame, which features our Obsidian moulding with a black satin finish. For example, select our Gold Embossed frame with double black suede and gold mats with your choice of Midnight, Noir, or Onyx Gold black moulding. It’s a great way to highlight your family heritage, extracurricular activities, Greek affiliations, or academic honors alongside your diploma.
5. Frame it in your office
The office is probably the most popular location to display a diploma, as it’s the perfect place to add a frame that highlights your qualifications. Hanging your diploma over your desk behind your office chair equips you with an excellent marketing tool that reminds clients, coworkers, and employers of your impressive credentials. Plus, it can help you bring purpose to your everyday work. With more and more people working remotely in their home offices, adding a Harvard University diploma frame above file cabinets in your office space will spark confidence in potential clients and customers.
To make it stand out in your office, try to hang your diploma away from your computer monitor or any other large item that could get in the way of viewing it. You want some natural light when working from home but not direct full sun. You can also consider adding a piece of art, photos of your team, or your company or business logo, too. Select a highly visible area to help it get noticed.
