Advising Programs Office

This office is charged with coordinating, supporting, and facilitating academic advising programs for all undergraduates and, as such, works with students, faculty, the Freshman Dean's Office, the Houses and other Harvard College and FAS offices on all aspects of pre-concentration and concentration advising.

Advising (for members of the Class of 2011)

SEAS is experimenting with a new advising structure. Each person is assigned a faculty adviser from the board of advisers. Students in Applied Mathematics and Economics have a second adviser in the Economics Department advising office.

Concentration Advisers (for members of the class of 2011)

Note: For Classes prior to 2011 an advisor is assigned to you from your area of specialization and Professor Brenner serves as a general advisor for the program.

Guidelines and Requirements

• Applied Mathematics Guidelines
  A detailed description of the concentration requirements that includes ideas for area of application and possible courses to take to satisfy the requirements.

• Guidelines for Area (d) of Applied Mathematics-Economics
  Information on courses that can be used to satisfy the area of application for economics.

• Requirements
  Official requirements for the concentration as published in the Harvard College Handbook for Student.
  

Plan of Study

• Plan of Study Form
  Required form used to list which course will satisfy concentration requirements. It must be submitted once the concentration is declared and an adviser is assigned. It requires the approval of the concentration adviser and the Director of Undergraduate Studies, Professor Michael Brenner. This form is used to check that students are on track to complete their concentration requirements. The form should be updated each spring. Seniors should submit a new plan shortly after the beginning of their fall term (to determine honors for graduating seniors).

• Plan of Study Form Instructions
  Instructions for completing the plan of study form.

Honors

• Standards for Honors
  Information on obtaining honors in the concentration.

Petition Form

• Petition Form

Related Information

• Mathematical Sciences information for undergraduates
  A description of the course options in the field of mathematics across the relevant departments in FAS (mathematics, applied mathematics, computer science, and statistics).
