Admissions & Financial Aid

Events

Do you offer tours?

We invite you to take our virtual tour of the HGSE campus and surrounding area, hosted by current HGSE students and alumni. The tour provides an insider's look at the classrooms and facilities located in the heart of Harvard Square.

While in-person tours are not offered on the HGSE campus, the Admissions Office hosts on-campus small group sessions and one-on-one appointments with Admissions representatives. They provide prospective applicants with information about the school, academic programs, student life, and the application process. You also may be interested in observing a class while you visit HGSE.

If you would like to participate in any of these opportunities, please visit the Events & Opportunities page to register.

How can I connect with HGSE at a distance?

HGSE offers a series of virtual information sessions that enable prospective students to learn about HGSE remotely. For further details and to RSVP to these events, please visit our Events & Opportunities page.

We are also invite you to tune into HGSE on YouTube and to follow us on Twitter.

Can I still attend an HGSE event after the RSVP deadline has passed?

We strongly encourage you to attend an event, even if the RSVP deadline has passed.  Please contact the Admissions Office at gseadmissions@harvard.edu so that we may anticipate your arrival.

Are there current graduate students or alumni that I can contact for more information?

Our Admissions Ambassador Programs provide opportunities for prospective students to connect with current students and alumni to hear their perspectives.

We are currently in the process of admitting and enrolling students for the 2013-2014 academic year and are not accepting Ambassador requests at this time. We will resume this opportunity in early April 2013.
