The Department comprises four key divisions: clinical science, developmental psychology, social psychology, and cognition, brain, and behavior. These units bring together faculty members whose shared research interests form comprehensive programs for advanced study within specific psychology subfields. Both faculty and graduate students are welcome to engage with multiple research groups. Harvard's Laboratory for Developmental Studies focuses on understanding the human mind and nature by examining their origins and progression in infants and children, while comparing these with non-human animal cognition and adult mental processes across various cultures. Ongoing research explores the development of understanding in areas such as objects, people, language, music, spatial awareness, mathematics, ethics, and the social distinctions between human groups.

Qualification Requirements
GSAS welcomes applications for admission from individuals who have or will have by the time of matriculation a BA, BS, or equivalent undergraduate degree (for prospective international students, a three- or four-year undergraduate degree from an institution of recognized standing) and actively seeks applicants from groups historically underrepresented in graduate schools.
Applicants are required to upload transcript copies from each college/university they attended into our online application system: official hard copy/paper transcripts are not required at the time of application.
Applicants who are non-native English speakers and who received their undergraduate degree from an academic institution where English is not the primary language of instruction must prove their English proficiency by earning either a minimum score of 80 on the Internet based test (iBT) of the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) or a minimum score of 6.5 on the International English Language Testing System (IELTS) Academic test.
