<p>Hi all!</p>

<p>I have some questions on Harvard’s General Education Program. </p>

<p>1) What exactly is a half course?
Is that a course that only lasts for half a semester? If so, can you take one after the other in one semester?</p>

<p>2) I read that there are full courses that fulfill two of the General Education requirements. Are there courses that kill three Gen Ed requirements?</p>

<p>A half course lasts half the year, or one semester. Most students take four half-courses (classes) per semester. Most classes are half-courses.</p>

<p>Classes that could be used to fulfill multiple gen eds specify that they will only fulfill one gen ed or another, but not more than one.</p>
