Majors and Minors

All Arts and Sciences degree candidates are required to select an area of concentration. This requirement is normally fulfilled through one of the existing departmental or interdepartmental concentration programs. In certain cases, it may be met by an independent concentration planned in consultation with an advisor and approved by the independent concentration advisor in CAS Room 105.
