The university is composed of ten academic faculties plus Harvard Radcliffe Institute. Arts and
Sciences offers study in a wide range of undergraduate and graduate academic disciplines, and
other faculties offer only graduate degrees, including professional degrees. Harvard has three
main campuses: the 209-acre (85 ha) Cambridge campus centered on Harvard Yard; an
adjoining campus immediately across Charles River in the Allston neighborhood of Boston; and
the medical campus in Boston's Longwood Medical Area. Harvard's endowment is valued at
$50.9 billion, making it the wealthiest academic institution in the world. Endowment income
enables the undergraduate college to admit students regardless of financial need and provide
generous financial aid with no loans. Harvard Library is the world's largest academic library
system, comprising 79 individual libraries holding about 20.4 million items.
