Answer 1

You are a little unclear on the concept. First of all, more is not necessarily better. You want the best education possible, not the most shallow! You don't need degrees in everything under the sun, just a good general education with one or (at the most) two majors, and the graduate or professional degree you would need for your career.

Secondly, when it comes to Harvard, Harvard University is the entire institution. Within Harvard, they have an undergraduate program called Harvard College, for those working on their bachelor's degrees. Things like Harvard Business, Harvard Law, Harvard Medical School, etc., are professional schools, and you must have completed your bachelor's degree (and in the case of Harvard Business School have at least five years of work experience after graduating) before you can even get in. When you are there, you don't take one class at a time, you are a full-time, dedicated student. For example, Harvard Law School doesn't offer things like "forensic science", but you would be working on a law degree, taking maybe four or five classes at a time in things like constitutional law, contracts, civil procedure, etc.

It is great to have a lot of interests, and you should be preparing for a lifetime of learning, but when you do go to college, you do have to narrow down your choices for a while so that you can develop depth in the subject matter of your choosing.

Answer 2

You are quite young, right? Harvard College is part of Harvard University. It's their undergraduate school. Harvard Business and Harvard Law are both part of Harvard University, but they are graduate schools. You can't enter them until you already have a bachelor's degree.

You really only need one bachelor's degree from one school. If you'd like, you may major in two things, but most people only major in one. If you'd like, you can take a minor as well - a few classes in another specific area. And no matter what you major in, you will take classes in other areas.

The Ivy League schools are: Brown, Columbia, Cornell, Harvard, Dartmouth, Princeton, U Penn, and Yale. But not all of the top universities in the US are in the Ivy League. Some of the tops are not. I'll list a few: Stanford, Cal Tech, MIT, U Chicago, Johns Hopkins. Some of them outrank the Ivys.

You usually can't major in forensic science at these schools. Forensic science, as a major, is offered at lower level schools. It's kind of trendy. If you actually want to work in forensics like you see on CSI, you instead should major in a science, and then you may need to do a master's. You need to be an actual *scientist*. Not a major in "forensics".

Answer 3

1) Harvard University is made up of different colleges and programs. HLS, HBS, etc., are just divisions of the larger school.

2) HLS (the law school) and HBS (the business school) are graduate programs. You can't do undergraduate studies there or take classes there unless you've been admitted to those programs as a graduate student. Harvard Law does not offer a course in forensic science. As far as I know, no law school does.

3) If you do happen to be admitted to Harvard, you might take individual courses in those subjects if they are offered.

Answer 4

Most colleges allow this. Triple majors are usually discouraged, because either it's too difficult to fit in all the courses, or it takes too long. Many colleges require you to graduate when you've completed the requirements for graduation in at least one major, plus all the general requirements. Finance and accounting will have very similar requirements, so that should be easily doable in four years - instead of having free electives, you'll just need to fill in your schedule with some specific courses. Since you know CIS will be a BBA, that means you've probably already chosen your school, as it would be a BS at an awful lot of other schools. You should have an academic advisor who can tell you whether this is allowed and whether he recommends it at your particular school.
