The first-ever Advising Fortnight allows—some might say forces—freshmen to explore the 44-concentration cornucopia that Harvard has to offer. There is no doubt that (in classic Harvard style) overeager students will take advantage of joint concentrations and secondary fields to mix and match, making the possibilities endless...or exactly 1,640, for all you math concentrators. Here are a few:
East Asian Studies + Music = The Song Dynasty
Earth and Planetary Sciences + East Asian Studies = Sailor Moon
African and African American Studies + Linguistics = a concentration that clicks
Environmental Science and Public Policy + Engineering Sciences = Greenough Hall
Anthropology + Government = a natural selection
Applied Mathematics + Near Eastern Languages and Civilizations = intense division
Evolutionary Biology + Neurobiology = Pinky and the Brain
Folklore and Mythology + Classics = “Troy”
Chemistry + Economics = second date supplied
Astronomy + Philosophy = head in the clouds
Physics + The Comparative Study of Religion = Atom and Eve
Slavic Languages and Literatures + Romance Languages and Literatures = From Russia with Love
Classics + History = “Old School”
Computer Science + The Comparative Study of Religion = Halo
History + Literature = History and Literature
Marketing + Communications + Political Science = post-grad employment
