The PhD Program in Health Policy is committed to fostering an inclusive, welcoming environment where students, faculty, and staff can collaboratively learn and work, regardless of race, religion, age, gender identity, sexual orientation, nationality, socioeconomic status, or disabilities. We value the academic, social, and broader benefits that emerge from a diverse program and commit to continually working towards an academic environment where all members of the Health Policy community feel supported and celebrated. Below are resources for both prospective and current students at Harvard.
