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.

 

Application

 

The application to join the TGP for the 2026 Cohort is open! You can find our application here!

​

Please Note, our Curriculum Requirements have changed for 2025 onward. Please review our new curriculum here.​

P

SUBMISSION DEADLINE: September 25th, 2026 (Friday) at 5:00 pm. Please email your application to tgp@hms.harvard.edu 

Admission decisions will be delivered by e-mail in early October so that students may be selected in time to attend our yearly symposium and begin planning their therapeutics courses timeline.

 

Eligibility

Applications are welcome from any 1st year (G1) and 2nd year (G2) graduate students in any of our Home Programs, consisting of the Harvard Integrated Life Sciences (HILS) graduate programs, as well as the Harvard-MIT joint HST program, the HEB program, and the HSDM Oral Biology Research DMSC Program. 3rd year (G3) graduate students will also be considered under exceptional circumstances (i.e. if a students switched into a therapeutics-related lab). Students may not be in another certificate program concurrently with the TGP.

​

Applicants should be aware of the program requirements, which includes course requirements, a 2-3 month therapeutics-related internship, and attendance of academic and community events.

​

Information Sessions

Graduate students are invited to attend information sessions about the program. This is a wonderful opportunity to meet and talk with our students and faculty. See below for details.
