SEAS Course Advising Event on Monday, Nov. 18 from 1-2pm in Maxwell Dworkin Ground Floor Lobby. Come get help choosing your spring courses by attending this SEAS event with concentration advisors from Applied Mathematics, Computer Science, and each of the Engineering tracks: Biomedical, Electrical, Environmental and Mechanical. Saloniki will be served! Please RSVP here by Friday, Nov. 15th! First-years and sophomores are especially welcome!
To declare a CS concentration, please see this page. We highly recommend you read our FAQ and perhaps reach out to one of our peer concentration advisors. You should also consider joining the Harvard CS Undergraduate Piazza board.
Integer Overflow: Harvard CS is growing and so are our course numbers! To avoid reuse of numbers for courses that change over time, 3-digit COMPSCI numbers are changing to 4-digit COMPSCI numbers for Fall 2024 onward. (1-digit and 2-digit COMPSCI numbers are unchanged.) To most 3-digit COMPSCI numbers, we have simply appended a 0, but a few courses have changed otherwise, per this mapping. For some time, it should still be possible to search https://my.harvard.edu/ by courses' old numbers.
