Although successful applicants normally have at least a 3.0 or above for the GPA and we prefer 600 above for each of the three sections of the GRE, we encourage you to apply whether or not you meet these guidelines. Keep in mind that all components of the application are taken into consideration. You need to submit a separate application form and fee for each program. International students in the Doctor of Design program are eligible to apply for GSD grants. Master's students are eligible to work as teaching assistants, helping faculty in both studio and lecture courses.
Research assistants work with faculty on sponsored projects.
In both instances, you need to apply to each program and be admitted independently to each program. If you are admitted to two GSD degree programs and decide to do both, you would work with the GSD Registrar to plan a course of study, which must be approved by both departments. Your program would be, at minimum, a year longer than the longest program. If you were admitted to programs at two different Harvard graduate schools, you would confer with the Registrar of each school to work out an acceptable plan of study. This arrangement is only possible with Harvard degree programs.
