<p>My nephew is an economics undergrad major at Harvard. He loves politics and wanted to double major in econ and government. However, he told us that a Harvard economics department does not allow someone to double major in econ and government. This news was a bit let down for him. Is it true or he is just merely misinformed? </p>
<p>Could a Harvard econ undergrad have a secondary major in government? If not so, then could Harvard undergrad only major in econ and minor in government.</p>
<p>I graduated from Harvard with a degree in government, but I don’t know the answer. Your nephew is most likely to find out the answer to his question by talking to others who are currently at Harvard, particularly by checking with the head of the economics dept.</p>
<p>He would have to check with Harvard, as all schools will be different. Thanks for the reminder that this is one of the questions students need to ask when visiting colleges - how easy is it to double major, and take classes from different departments/schools within the college.</p>
