Summer Session for Public Health Studies

Admission Information

Students interested in admission to the Summer Session must complete the Summer Session Application. (Available in pdf form below).

Please note: Admission to, or academic performance in, the Summer Session does not guarantee admission to the School's other full- and part-time academic degree programs, which require a separate application and admissions process. Current degree candidates at HSPH and individuals who have applied to a degree program at the School for the Fall of 2009 must complete and sign the first page of the Summer Session application, but are not required to submit the application fee. 

Application Deadline

All applications and supporting documents must be received by March 1, 2009. Applications submitted and/or completed after this date will not be considered for admission to the Summer Session. 

Please note: Students applying to the Summer-only MPH program must complete the same admissions application (through SOPHAS, Schools of Public Health Application Service) and observe the same deadlines as all degree applicants to the School.  Admitted students must register separately for the Summer Session or the Program in Clinical Effectiveness by the appropriate deadline in order to indicate summer course choices.

  • Master of Science Programs: December 15, 2008
  • Final deadline (MPH program only): January 15, 2009
  • Program in Clinical Effectiveness (PCE): February 1, 2009

Application Fee

A non-refundable application fee of $60 is required to apply for Summer Session. A check drawn on a bank in the United States, a U.S. postal order, or an international money order in U.S. currency (made payable to the Harvard School of Public Health) must accompany your application. Please indicate your name on the check or money order. Currently enrolled HSPH students or individuals who have applied to a degree program at HSPH for Fall 2009 are not required to submit another application fee. All other applications without the fee will not be processed.
