Introducing Claude for Education

Today we're launching Claude for Education, a specialized version of Claude tailored for higher education institutions. This initiative equips universities to develop and implement AI-enabled approaches across teaching, learning, and administration—ensuring educators and students play a key role in actively shaping AI's role in society.

As part of announcing Claude for Education, we're introducing:

Claude for Education gives academic institutions secure, reliable AI access for their entire community.

Claude for Education introduces our new Learning mode, a feature that works within Projects (saved conversations where students can organize their work with Claude around specific assignments or topics). In Learning mode, Claude helps students develop their independent thinking by:

Today, we are also introducing two new student programs designed to nurture and empower our growing Claude student community:

Northeastern University is collaborating as Anthropic's first university design partner. This trail-blazing initiative aims to transform teaching, research and business practices across Northeastern’s global university system. The partnership provides 50,000 students, faculty, and staff across 13 global campuses with seamless access to Claude. We’re working with Northeastern University to build best practices for AI integration in higher education, new AI-powered education tools, and frameworks for responsible AI adoption in educational settings.

Northeastern was the first university in the U.S. to develop an entire academic plan — Northeastern 2025 — focused on AI and its implications for the future of learning. President Joseph E. Aoun, a thought leader in AI and higher education, authored “Robot-Proof,” the definitive book on the future of learning in an AI-driven world. A second edition, released by MIT Press in August 2024, further explores AI’s evolving role in education and the workforce.

A world-leading university, specializing in the social sciences, LSE is sharing Claude across their student body. By partnering with Anthropic, LSE is ensuring equity of access for their students by equipping them with both the tools and skills they need to succeed in an AI-transformed world, and exploring how to responsibly deploy AI in educational contexts to help the sector and humanity.
