The Committee on Higher Degrees (CHD) is responsible for overseeing all graduate degree programs of students in SEAS. It is a body comprised of faculty from across the School. For more information, visit: <https://www.seas.harvard.edu/academics/graduate/committee-on-higher-degrees>

The [CHD Policies](http://www.seas.harvard.edu/sites/default/files/files/Academics/Policies%20of%20CHD.pdf) outline the requirements for the SM and PhD programs. It is a valuable resource, and we recommend taking a look at it to familiarize yourself with the requirements of your program.
