Harvard University Faculty of Arts and Sciences The Graduate School of Arts and Sciences Handbook 2009–2010 Academic Calendar Rules and Regulations Departmental Requirements Information and Services Official Register of Harvard University This handbook describes the regulations and rules that apply to students in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences. Each degree-granting department, division, or committee publishes its own requirements in Programs in the Humanities, Programs in the Natural Sciences, or Programs in the Social Sciences. These booklets are hereafter referred to as program description booklets. Also, Chapter VI of this handbook includes descriptions of departmental degree requirements.

Other sections of this handbook provide information concerning health, housing, and other University resources for graduate students. Review of academic, financial, and other considerations leads to changes in the policies, rules, and regulations applicable to students. The Faculty of Arts and Sciences therefore reserves the right to make changes at any time. These changes may affect such matters as tuition and all other fees, courses, degrees, and programs offered (including the modification or possible elimination of degrees and programs), degree and other academic requirements, academic policies, rules pertaining to student conduct and discipline, fields or areas of concentration, and other rules and regulations applicable to students.

While every effort has been made to ensure that this book is accurate and up-to- date, it may include typographical or other errors. Harvard University’s policy is to make decisions concerning applicants, students, faculty, and staff on the basis of the individual’s qualifications to contribute to Harvard’s educational objectives and institutional needs. The principle of not discriminating against individuals on the basis of race, color, sex, gender identity, sexual orientation, religion, age, national or ethnic origin, political beliefs, veteran status, or disability unrelated to job or course of study requirements is consistent with the purposes of a university and with the law. Harvard expects that those with whom it deals will comply with all applicable antidiscrimination laws.

INTRODUCTION University Hall. (Harvard University Archives) MESSAGE FROM THE DEAN As a new academic year begins I extend a most cordial welcome to you. If you are a newcomer to Harvard, this book will give you a general introduction to the Graduate School and help you to get acquainted with its history, organization, degree programs, regulations, services, and many other details of interest and importance. If you are returning to a familiar setting, you will find that this book is designed to serve as a regularly updated source of reference for many purposes, in particular academic policies and procedures.

Supplementary information is provided by other publications of the Graduate School and the Registrar’s office. However, as no publication can offer exhaustive coverage, let alone answers to all questions, please keep in mind that the Dean’s office, the Office of Student Affairs, the Admissions and Financial Aid office, and departmental directors of graduate studies are all available for personal consultation. My best wishes for a productive year.
