Campus & Community
Our vibrant residential campus is designed to develop skills and build relationships that last a lifetime.
A Place for Scholars to Learn, Thrive, and Belong
Our PhD students benefit from the unparalleled resources of the Harvard University community. They can cross-register for courses at other world-leading institutions—including the Harvard Kennedy School, the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health, and MIT—broadening their academic training and perspectives. Students also enjoy access to a rich array of university-wide academic and cultural events, as well as Harvard’s exceptional athletic facilities, libraries, museums, and health services.
Students enter PhD programs at different life stages, and support is available for a variety of personal circumstances, including those involving partners or families. The living stipend allows you to choose the housing option that works best for you—whether on-campus dormitories, university apartment buildings, or off-campus housing. The campus is fully accessible, and HBS is committed to ensuring that every student has the resources and support they need to thrive.
Find your community
HBS PhD students find community on both sides of the river, participating in clubs and affinity groups at HBS and GSAS.
