Special Concentrations accepts applications three times during the academic year: at the beginning of the fall semester, mid-October, and mid-March. Most students apply during the October or March cycles, and the majority apply during the spring of their sophomore year or fall of junior year.  Once you have applied and been accepted, you will be invited to change your concentration in my.harvard - please do not declare prior to applying.  The links to the left will help you learn more about the process.  Please note that the Special Concentrations Application materials have been revised as of November, 2023.  Please be sure you are using the most recent application.
