Harvard University Graduate School of Arts and Sciences 8 Garden Street Byerly Hall, 2nd Fl. Applications for the following year may be requested from the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences after July 1, 2001. The applications then undergo a two-stage process of review by both the Committee on Higher Degrees in Social Policy and the admissions committee of the relevant disciplinary department, Government or Sociology. Hence all students offered admission to the joint degree program have been accepted by both bodies and enroll under the supervision of both the disciplinary department and Social Policy. These programs especially encourage students from underrepresented minority groups to apply.
