Admissions

The TGP does not admit matriculating students for graduate training; rather, the program will offer opportunities to complement existing curriculum for students in the Harvard Life Science PhD programs. In this regard, the TGP does not compete with the educational missions of the existing programs and concentrations but will offer a value-added opportunity beyond what is presently available.

Students may not be in another certificate program concurrently with the TGP.
