Other Information |
Undergraduate concentrators in philosophy have a number of activities in which they can participate during their time at Harvard. They may also be interested in attending the Work in Progress Lunch Series, to learn about the current research of our faculty and graduate students.
Each concentrator is assigned a faculty advisor. Concentrators also take tutorials as part of their course of study, and honors concentrators will write theses. Moreover, there are four Philosophy Prizes for which concentrators may compete.
Finally,
all concentrators, as well as any undergraduate taking a philosophy course, are welcome to contact the Department Writing Fellow for help in honing their philosophical writing. |
