Secondary Fields

WELCOME TO THE SECONDARY FIELDS WEBSITE

There are now more than 40 secondary field programs available to Harvard College undergraduates, each of which provides the opportunity to pursue focused study in one area outside of the concentration.

This website provides information on specific programs, as well as general information about secondary fields, a list of frequently asked questions, and a web tool for tracking requirements and submitting forms.

While considering their secondary field options, students should remember that:

• secondary fields are entirely optional, and are not required for graduation;
• students may receive credit for only one secondary field;
• only one course may double-count for a secondary field and any other requirement.

For questions that are not answered on this website, please contact the Office of Undergraduate Education (oue@fas.harvard.edu).
