A little bit about our PhD programs:

Successful students come from a variety of academic backgrounds including computer science, economics, engineering, mathematics, psychology, sociology, and statistics, among many others. HBS seeks applicants with a pattern of strong academic performance, creativity, entrepreneurial spirit, and self-management skills who are passionate about learning and will be able to produce innovative research. Learn more about HBS students by reviewing their publications and profiles. 

HBS proudly offers full funding for all incoming students; regardless of financial need or national origin. In fact, each admitted student is automatically awarded a fellowship which includes tuition, single-person health fees, and a living stipend ($43,860 for 2021-2022 academic year) for up to 5 years of study. Students are not required to serve as research or teaching assistants in order to receive the stipend.
