Office of Admission
Welcome to the Office of Admission
At the Harris School, we look hard at every applicant. We choose from among the best and brightest students to create a class that will yield policy professionals of the highest caliber.
Last year, we received more than 750 applications for admission from students in the United States and 50 other countries for the class that started in September 2007. Of those, we enrolled approximately 120 in master's programs and 16 in the PhD program. The 2007 class entering is 58% women and 17% American minorities. International students represent 30% and come from 23 countries. Together, these students have earned degrees in more than 75 different undergraduate majors and 90% of them have previous work experience.
The mix of personal and professional experience makes for a rich and dynamic atmosphere in which students inspire each other and help shape life at the Harris School.
In this section, you can learn about our admission procedures and requirements, financial aid opportunities, as well as student life, and even how to schedule a visit. You can also look at the 2009-2010 Harris School Announcements Catalog (PDF).
Thank you for your interest in the Harris School.
