A Cornucopia of Concentrations

The first-ever Advising Fortnight allows—some might say forces—freshmen to explore the 44-concentration cornucopia that Harvard has to offer. There is no doubt that (in classic Harvard style) overeager students will take advantage of joint concentrations and secondary fields to mix and match, making the possibilities endless...or exactly 1,640, for all you math concentrators. Here are a few:



East Asian Studies + Music = The Song Dynasty

Earth and Planetary Sciences + East Asian Studies = Sailor Moon

African and African American Studies + Linguistics = a concentration that clicks

Environmental Science and Public Policy + Engineering Sciences = Greenough Hall

Anthropology + Government = a natural selection

Applied Mathematics + Near Eastern Languages and Civilizations = intense division

Evolutionary Biology + Neurobiology = Pinky and the Brain

Folklore and Mythology + Classics = “Troy”

Chemistry + Economics = second date supplied

Astronomy + Philosophy = head in the clouds

Physics + The Comparative Study of Religion = Atom and Eve

Slavic Languages and Literatures + Romance Languages and Literatures = From Russia with Love

Classics + History = “Old School”

Computer Science + The Comparative Study of Religion = Halo

History + Literature = History and Literature

Marketing + Communications + Political Science = post-grad employment
