Please see the GHP Course Requirements, see here.

Prospective Students

Please note: Our application for the 2024 Cohort of the PhD in Population Health Sciences (PHS) has closed as of 01 December 2023 @5PM ET. The application for our 2025 PHS Cohort will open in mid-September 2024.

Although interviews are neither required nor guaranteed during our Admissions deliberations, some 2024 Cohort applicants may be contacted via e-mail/phone in December or January to schedule a remote interview with one or more Harvard Faculty reviewers via Zoom, Skype, or phone. Please do not contact PHS, our Fields, or our Faculty to schedule an interview – unless you have been contacted first by a representative of our program.

We expect to notify all applicants of their PHS PhD Admissions status by Friday, 23 February 2024. Once again, please do not contact PHS, our Fields, or our Faculty with early-decision requests; all PHS PhD Admissions notifications are delivered on the same, equitable timeline for all those who apply.
