The HMS Office for Graduate Education PhD Programs is dedicated to nurturing a welcoming, supportive, and inclusive community where all graduate students can thrive academically and personally. We value the unique backgrounds and perspectives our students, faculty, and staff bring. By fostering an environment that celebrates and respects each person, we aim to empower the next generation of scholars and leaders. In collaboration with the Harvard Kenneth C. Griffin Graduate School of Arts and Sciences, Harvard Medical School, and partners throughout Harvard, we offer a wide range of programs and resources to ensure everyone feels welcomed and supported.
