Harvard offers students everything necessary for a liberal education in virtually every imaginable field. The sheer number of curricular choices - 3500 courses - opens doors for the exploration of widely disparate fields and also for concentration in special areas of interest. Students learn in classrooms and labs from professors who are leading authorities in their fields; all members of Harvard's large, diverse, and accomplished faculty teach undergraduates. Just as important, Harvard offers its undergraduates the privilege of studying with exceptionally talented and motivated peers from all over the globe.
