GSAS
offers two options for study within a non-degree program, the Special Student
status and the Visiting Fellow status.
Special Student status is available to individuals who have sound reasons
for not wishing to enter a degree program, who hold the bachelor's degree or
its equivalent, and are able to present evidence of fitness for admission at
the graduate level. For more information

Visiting Fellow status is available
to individuals holding the doctoral degree (or its equivalent), as well as to advanced
doctoral candidates who have completed all required coursework and would like
to pursue dissertation research at Harvard.Individuals without a Ph.D. but with comparable professional experience
may also apply for visiting fellow status. For more information click here.
As
of December 2008, we have changed our application procedure to allow students
and fellows to submit applications on-line.We will no longer accept paper applications.
Our new on-line application also provides for submission of supporting
documents such as transcripts and letters of recommendation on-line.
