<p>At Harvard, can you have a double major and one, possibly two, minors if you are and undergrad?</p>

<p>At Harvard, you can do a joint concentration (where concentration = major), which is pretty similar to doing a double major. However, to pursue a joint concentration, you usually have to combine two related fields (math/physics, history/East Asian studies), whereas in a double major you would probably have the freedom to pick two unrelated areas. With a joint concentration, you pick a primary field and an allied field, and, usually, you are responsible for satisfying all of the honors requirements for the primary field and a smaller set of requirements for the allied field. </p>
<p>For example, someone who wants to do a joint concentration with physics primary and math allied, they have to satisfy all of the physics requirements, but only have to take 5 math classes. Because you aren’t taking as many courses as if you were separately satisfying the full requirements for both concentrations, it’s more of an interdisciplinary pursuit than pursuing two distinct fields.</p>
<p>Minors at Harvard are called Secondary Fields, and you are allowed to pursue at most one. However, if you take at least 4-6 classes in a foreign language, you can get a Citation in that language, which is sort of like a minor. </p>
<p>You can pursue all three of a joint concentration, a Secondary Field, and a Citation together, so you basically combine as many separate fields of expertise as anyone would ever want in four years.</p>
<p>You’re extra nice dbc. I gave the citation to the Harvard-aspiring OP to let her figure it out herself.</p>
