<p>Let say Computer Science with Physics as two majors, and a minor in mathematics. Is this even possible at Harvard?</p>
<p>Thank you.</p>
<p>At Harvard the term “major” does not apply. Concentration is the term used. For the most part, there is not such thing as a double major or concentration. They do offer something called a joint concentration but this is different than the usual double major. For a joint concentration, two existing concentrations are chosen that you can define a “coherent plan of study” that will be finished with an interdisciplinary thesis joining the two concentrations. Not every concentration at Harvard makes this option available. A plan for this must be filed and approved.</p>
<p>As for a minor, that is called a secondary concentration. Unlike a joint concentration, a secondary concentration is not required to combine with your chosen concentration. Only one secondary concentration is allowed.</p>
<p>Here is a link to the 2009-2010 handbook, you can read further about the details.

<p>The answer to your question, from what I read, is that it is probably permitted but not encouraged or easy to do.</p>
<p>Hi, thank you. I have to consider this before applying to Harvard this fall.</p>
<p>Thank you!</p>
<p>Everything smoda61 posted is correct. I would add that the answer to the question, according to the Secondary Fields FAQ, is:</p>
