In Social Psychology, both students and professors aim to comprehend human interactions and behaviors within social environments. Our academic pursuits and instruction cover various analytical perspectives—ranging from the neurological and biological foundations of social cognition to individual and collective actions, as well as the societal and cultural frameworks influencing human thought, emotion, and behavior. A significant portion of our research occurs at interdisciplinary crossroads—connecting with psychology fields like cognitive neuroscience and developmental psychology, collaborating with departments such as Economics and Sociology, and partnering with Harvard's professional institutions, including the Law School, Business School, Medical School, and Kennedy School of Government.
Ultimately, our goal is to advance knowledge about self-perception and interpersonal dynamics while exploring how social psychology can positively impact individuals' lives.

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.
