<p>Hey guys, I’m finishing up my Harvard supplement and I have a question. I am interested in both math and film and want to major in applied math with concentrations in computer science and economics. Is it also possible for me to take elective classes in the film program, which is just developing? I know this is a weird and specific question but any help anyone can give me would be hugely appreciated, thanks!</p>

<p>Harvard offers nearly 3,500 courses and more than 40 undergraduate fields of study, which are called “concentrations” rather than majors. So, I’m bit confused what you want to do when you say “I am interested in both math and film and want to major in applied math with concentrations in computer science and economics.”</p>

Normally, a student who wished to graduate with a single concentration, such as applied math, will have plenty of room for electives and could choose a film elective from the above VES course list. However, If you want to graduate with a double-concentration in Computer Science and Econ, your schedule might not have room for many film electives, other than ones that would qualify for your gen ed requirements: [Courses</a> Program in General Education](<a href=“http://www.generaleducation.fas.harvard.edu/icb/icb.do?keyword=k37826&tabgroupid=icb.tabgroup92169]Courses”>http://www.generaleducation.fas.harvard.edu/icb/icb.do?keyword=k37826&tabgroupid=icb.tabgroup92169)</p>
<p>Sorry for that wording; I see how it could be confusing. I did mean a concentration in applied math, and the FOCUS of the applied math is in economics and computer science. Thank you for the information, this is all I wanted to know. I just wanted to make sure I could take electives in the VES program because it seemed like a specialized program of sorts.</p>
