Please consult the Fields of Concentration for specific jointconcentration information and requirements for your desired field of study. When declaring a jointconcentration, you will designate one of the concentrations as your primaryconcentration and one as the allied concentration.
While many fields are connected to an existing concentration, some are multi-disciplinary and are not directly affiliated with an existing concentration. Below, we have compiled short overviews of each to help you explore your academic interests.
When declaring a jointconcentration, you will designate one of the concentrations as your primaryconcentration and one as the allied concentration. Both participating concentrations must be satisfied with the coherence and merit of your plan and be prepared to supervise your program in detail.

· What a joint— as opposed to a double — concentration does is connect two disciplines. By having faculty from both departments advise and then read joint theses, the jointconcentration...
Jointconcentrations are honors-track programs. Each field recommends honors separately, and in most circumstances the minimum recommendation takes precedence. The primaryfield (the first-listedconcentration) is ultimately responsible for the English honors recommendation, however.
The Student Handbook and Fields of Concentration guide you through Harvard College’s academic, social, and personal opportunities and resources available to support your development.
