Sophomores, ready to declare English as your concentration? Juniors and Seniors, ready to transfer into English?
The Class of 2023 must declare by Thursday, November 19, 2020.
All students should follow these steps:
Review your concentration requirements.
Students in the Class of 2023 or 2024 should explore their Guide for Concentrators or the Harvard College Handbook for Students.
Students from the Class of 2021 or 2022 transferring into the concentration should review their Guide for Concentrators.
This will be a faculty member you work with for the duration of your English concentration. It can be someone you’ve taken a class with or someone you share an interest with. We’re happy to make recommendations, and we’d like you to have an adviser in place when you declare. Send emails, attend office hours, get to know our faculty. All non-creative writing faculty are eligible to be concentration advisers.

How to create a declaration or change of concentration request
To ensure a departmental experience rich in both breadth and depth, we encourage you to work with your faculty concentration adviser to explore your interests in depth and to explore as many subfields of English literature as possible:
Make an appointment with one of our undergraduate program advisers. At this meeting, we’ll review your plan of study document, approve your declaration request, and discuss advising in the concentration. Any student declaring a joint concentration must meet with one of our Associate Directors of Undergraduate Studies.
