PRGS Student Body Profile
Each year, about 25 new students enroll in PRGS. They come from around the world and from the most diverse of educational backgrounds.
Their academic credentials are very strong, but the Admissions Committee doesn't just go by the numbers. The Committee looks for creativity, the ability to think about new issues in new ways. PRGS seeks students with a combination of passion and discipline—the passion to change the world for the better, and the discipline to carry forth the new research that will be needed to do so.
