<p>Does anyone know for sure if one can do a joint concentration in Economics and Applied Mathematics at Harvard? I've been reading contradictory information, so any solid information would be greatly appreciated. (especially anybody who actually is doing this or knows somebody who's doing this)</p>
<p>I would like to know that as well, as I am considering to do so, if at all possible.</p>
<p>Any suggestions would be well appreciated.</p>
<p>According to the document published by the DEAS, it is not possible to pursue a joint degree in Applied Math and some other discipline because AM is already interdisciplinary.</p>
<p>You can do Applied Math, Econ track.</p>
<p>Thanks for the link and suggestion. I read the document you refer to that says it is not possible to pursue a joint degree with Applied Math... but I could have sworn I heard about some people ACTUALLY doing Econ and Applied Math joint concentration. So if anyone knows somebody doing this joint concentration, could you please verify this for me? In fact, I was under the impression that this joint concentration is one of the more common ones...</p>
<p>And how does the Applied Math econ track work, in case a joint concentration really is not possible? Does economics appear on the diploma in any way? Does it give adequate preparation for economics at all?</p>
<p>many departments recently changed their policies on joint concentrations, so it's possible that... it was at one point possible, but is no longer.</p>
<p>MANY people do Applied Mathematics and Economics. It's pretty ridiculous. Where there's a will, there's a way - that's really what Harvard is all about. Your imagination is your limit.</p>
