What are some of the requirements while attending harvard university?
Um, that depends on which school you attend at Harvard University, what degree you are earning, and what your concentration (Harvard's word for "major") is.





I'll assume you're asking about Harvard College (the undergraduate school) which is just one part of the larger Harvard University, since that's where I graduated from last year.





There are some college-wide requirements:


•You must take 1 year of foreign language (unless you took AP language in high school)


•You must take one semester of expository writing


•And you must take one course each in 7 of the 11 "Core" areas most distantly related to your concentration.





The 11 "Cores" are:


•Moral Reasoning


•Quantitative Reasoning


•History A


•History B


•Language %26amp; Arts A


•Language %26amp; Arts B


•Language %26amp; Arts C


•Social Analysis


•Science A


•Science B


•Foreign Cultures





However, the college is currently in the process of curricular review and the Core system may be abolished and replaced with more standard "distribution requirements" within the next few years.





On top of those college-wide requirements, you will have requirements within your concentration, and these are totally variable.


Some concentrations have lots of flexibility and few requirements, some don't.


One thing in common is: if you want honors, you need to write a senior thesis, and this usually involves taking a series of honors tutorials leading up to your your thesis during your senior year.


Another common departmental requirement is to take at least one small seminar class.
