#  New Secondary Field Requirements (Classes of 2016 &amp; 2017) 

 



The secondary field in ESPP offers students in other concentrations an opportunity to complement their studies with courses that will provide an environmental science and policy perspective.

**Additional Requirements**

- During each semester there will be three evening discussion sessions that are intended specifically to engage ESPP and EE secondary field students in discussion with Harvard faculty. Some will require preparatory readings and others will require prior attendance at a public lecture on campus. Students will be required to attend at least one session for each semester once they have been accepted into the program.
- Students must declare their engagement in this secondary field no later than study card day of their sixth term. They will then be assigned an advisor, following their submission of an anticipated course of study.
- One junior ESPP tutorial may be used in substitution for one of the social science and public policy requirements.
