Prior Degree Policy

As a matter of policy, students may enroll in only one degree program at a time except for the following approved programs: MD/MPH, JD/MPH, MPH/MSN, and MPH/MUP.  Students scheduled to begin a degree program at Harvard Chan School in 2017 must show proof of degree conferral for all prior degrees.  If an incoming student has not completed the degree(s) and has not submitted the degree conferral documentation to the Office of Admissions by June 1, 2017, the student will need to request a deferral to begin studies at Harvard Chan School in 2018.  In the case of extenuating circumstances, please contact us as soon as possible.

Applicants who have degree coursework from institutions outside of the United States of America and/or non-English-language institutions in Canada must submit a credential evaluation from World Education Services (WES).  If you are currently in a degree program, an updated, final WES evaluation will be required prior to matriculation at the Harvard Chan School.
