Can you apply to a PhD program if you already have a PhD?

<p>I think Harvard allows it but I don't know if MIT does.</p>

<p>It’s not a school-by-school thing, it’s a department-by-department thing (as with most grad school issues). There are many programs that won’t allow it, for the very sensible reason that PhD students cost money, and there are exceedingly few reasons anybody would actually need two PhDs.</p>
