Major Expansion in Minor Changes

Harvard undergrads will be able to choose among 36 “secondary fields," or minors, this spring, pending the approval of a Faculty committee. That marks an almost twofold increase in the number of secondary field proposals submitted over the past three weeks.

The Educational Policy Committee, the panel of professors that created the new secondary field program, will reach a decision this fall on the 36 proposals submitted by yesterday's deadline.

“I was a little shocked at how many proposals have come in so far," said Assistant Dean of the College Stephanie H. Kenen, who just three weeks ago told The Crimson that she had received only about 20 proposals. “And they're still coming in," said Kenen, though she added that proposals submitted after yesterday's deadline might not be approved in time for spring semester shopping period.
