<p>Members of the Class of 2007 may graduate with a secondary field on their transcript. </p>
<p>The Educational Policy Committee (EPC) will begin approving secondary fields on a rolling basis over the next several weeks, and at least 10 departments plan to submit proposals by Oct. 15the deadline for fall consideration. </p>
<p>If a particular department offers a secondary field immediately, those students who are interested can get started right away, Assistant Dean of the College Stephanie H. Kenen said. But if youre not interested, youre going to have to wait. We couldve made everyone wait, but we chose to start the implementation right away. </p>
<p>If a department misses the fall deadline, it might have to wait until after Feb. 15 for consideration in the spring. </p>
<p>In addition to the departments that have already submitted proposals, at least another six have expressed interest in meeting the fall deadline, according to Kenen. </p>
<p>Five departments confirmed that they plan to submit proposals before the October 15 deadline, including Celtic Languages and Literatures, Classics, English and American Literature and Language, History of Art and Architecture, and Philosophy, according to department chairs. The Davis Center for Russian and Eurasian Studies also intends to submit a proposal by the first deadline, according to Lisbeth L. Tarlow, the associate director of the center. </p>
<p>As of this past spring, at least 16 concentrations aimed to have secondary field proposals ready for EPC approval this fall, including Astronomy, Classics, English and American Literature and Language, Environmental Science and Public Policy, Visual Environmental Studies, Folklore and Mythology, Government, History, History of Art and Architecture, Linguistics, Math, Music, Organismic and Evolutionary Biology, Sanskrit and Indian Studies, Sociology, and Statistics, according to department chairs and directors of undergraduate studies....</p>
