I don’t really understand the whole LA/Core Curriculum system at Harvard. I keep hearing different things! Can someone answer a few questions?

In the first year (or 2?) do you have to take a wide range of subjects and courses so for instance science,math,english and history or can you just concentrate on the one’s you want so just history? Or do you have to take all the other courses as well?

I’m really quite confused! If anyone could lay it all out in layman’s terms it’d be much appreicated!
