Subject requirements

A HASS Concentration may include only one subject that also counts toward the HASS Distribution Requirement. You may include more than one only if the additional subject will not count as a HASS Distribution subject in your degree audit.

Students may also cross-register for classes at Harvard or Wellesley in languages of Eastern Europe and/or Russian, as well as courses in history, literature, government and other subjects.
