Visit the advising website for more information about student advising.

There are many sources of advice to help students plan their academic experiences to take the best advantage of the opportunities found at Harvard. General academic advising is overseen by the Freshman Dean's Office for first-year students. Each concentration has a faculty member designated as the Director of Undergraduate Studies or Head Tutor to oversee advising of both students who are considering the concentration and those who have already chosen the concentration. Students should also seek the advice and counsel of individual members of the Faculty. Many concentrations offer contact information for current Harvard College students who are willing to talk with freshman about their experiences in their concentration, as a way of helping first year students make the best possible choice about their intended field of study.
