Programs of Study

What is a Major, Minor, & Concentration?

• Major: Primary focus of study in college
• Minor: Secondary focus of study (e.g. Major in Biology with a minor in Art). A minor is not required for all majors.
• Concentration: A focus of study within a major (e.g. Major in Business Administration, with a concentration in Finance).
• University Core: Coursework that all students take, regardless of major. The Core enlivens our Mission as well as grounds, extends, and enriches each student’s major area of study.
