Required courses:
HAA 11, “Landmarks of World Architecture”.
Three courses in architecture or a related field from offered courses numbered HAA 12-89 and 100-199, adhering to the following guidelines: at least one course in Asian, Islamic, African, South Asian, or Latin American/Pre-Columbian architecture; one course in any area of European or North American architecture; and one course in architecture before 1800. See the Undergraduate Program Coordinator for a list of approved courses.
HAA 96a, “Architecture Studio 1: Transformations”. Studio may be taken sophomore or junior year. No prerequisites. Studio meets for six hours per week.
HAA 96b, “Architecture Studio 2: Connections”. Studio may be taken junior or senior year. HAA 96a must be taken as a prerequisite. Studio meets for six hours per week.
One course of HAA 98 (see General Requirements 2.a).
One course of HAA 97r (see General Requirements 2.b).
Four courses that investigate the history and/or theory of architecture, environments, and design media, from offered courses numbered HAA 100-299 or recommended courses at the GSD as specified by the Director of Undergraduate Architecture Studies, with approval by the Director of Undergraduate Studies. No more than two of these four courses should be selected from GSD offerings. Courses at the GSD and courses in the HAA 200 range require permission of instructor. Other courses from the HAA or GSD rosters, or courses from other departments, may be substituted with approval of the Director of Undergraduate Studies.
Note: a list of approved GSD courses will be circulated each semester and made available on the HAA website. Courses not on this list require prior approval from the Director of Undergraduate Studies to count for concentration credit. Please note that GSD courses are evaluated in terms not equivalent to grades used by the FAS, and will not be used to compute either your college or departmental GPA. While these classes will fulfill concentration requirements, they will not count towards the 84 letter-grades of C- or higher required by the College. If a GSD course is joint-listed with the FAS, students should register for the FAS version of that course where possible.
Tutorials:
Junior Year: History of Art and Architecture 98 (one term) required. Letter-graded. Led by a graduate student, this tutorial offers concentrators the choice of several topics in the field of art and architectural history.
Sophomore Year: History of Art and Architecture 97r (one term) required. Letter-graded. History of Art and Architecture 97r is an introduction to the practice of art and architectural history through object-based teaching led by Faculty members in HAA.
Thesis: None required. (The thesis is required only for students who wish to be eligible for honors). (See “Requirements for Honors Eligibility”)
General Examinations: None.
Other information:
The designation as a concentration course of any course taken outside of those listed above or on the program’s list of approved courses is subject to the approval of the Director of Undergraduate Studies. No more than two courses may be “imported” into the concentration by petition over and above those which are already cross-listed; exceptions for coursework done as part of study abroad programs will be considered on a case-by-case basis. For more, see General Requirements 5.c.
Pass/Fail: Normally, no work taken Pass/Fail will be accepted as part of the concentration. Exceptions are made for no more than one first-year seminar offered by HAA Faculty, and no more than two courses on the “Recommended GSD Courses” list (see 1.h).
The architecture studies track is not open to joint concentration. However, it is available to pursue as part of a double concentration. Students pursuing a secondary field in HAA are welcome to pursue architectural interests through HAA courses, but may not enroll in studio courses (HAA 92r, 96a, or 96b) or in GSD courses for secondary field credit.

Departmental academic advising is provided by the faculty, by the Undergraduate Program Coordinator (Marcus Mayo), and by the Director of Undergraduate Studies, Professor Jennifer L. Roberts, who meets individually with concentrators to discuss course selection and tutorials (usually at the beginning of each term and by appointment at other times). Students working on a senior thesis are advised by the Director of Senior Thesis AdvisorTheses, Professor Carrie Lambert-Beatty.
Students are reminded, however, that they are each ultimately responsible for the fulfillment of concentration requirements and should check regularly on the current status of their progress. Progress worksheets and sample plans of study are provided here. It is recommended that you complete the relevant progress worksheet and have it reviewed by the Undergraduate Program Coordinator before each semester. Procedural information and advice is available throughout the year in the Undergraduate Office. Please contact the Undergraduate Program Coordinator, Marcus Mayo at 485 Broadway,3rd floor, Office 308, <marcus_mayo@fas.harvard.edu>. The Director of Senior Thesis Advisor Theses is Professor Carrie Lambert-Beatty and the Director of Graduate Studies is Professor Felipe Pereda. The Department Chair is Professor Ewa Lajer-Burcharth.
