Harvard Thesis Requirements at a Glance
Harvard GSAS does not set a single dissertation word limit; length is determined by department, with most humanities and social-science dissertations running 200–300 pages. Students pass general/qualifying exams, have a prospectus approved, then submit electronically following GSAS formatting rules and defend before their committee.
| Word limit | Set by department (often 200–300 pages) |
|---|---|
| Key milestones | Qualifying exams → prospectus → defense |
| Committee | Advisor + typically 2 readers |
| Submission | Electronic via ProQuest ETD, GSAS format |
