Areas of Study
The requirements described on the following pages are continuously updated in order to
provide students with the best possible educational opportunities. The listings, therefore,
are subject to revision as announced.
Programs/Majors/Minors
These terms are used to describe courses of study listed on the following pages.
Program is the term used to describe the courses and requirements for a specific professional
preparation and do not include major/minor requirements.
Majors are blocks of courses in an academic subject or a field of several related subjects.
Majors require a minimum of 30 semester hours of credit. Majors, however, may require
more than 30 credits.
Minors are similar to majors but require a minimum of 20 credits. Minors, however, may
require more than 20 credits.
Emphases are particular sets of requirements within a major that differentiates areas of
study in that major. Typically this takes the form of a specific set of courses that the student
is required to take within the major in order to complete the given emphasis. It does not
require credits over and above the number required by the major itself.
Concentrations are particular sets of requirements accompanying and in addition to the
major that enhance the learning outcomes of the major. Concentrations require a minimum
of nine credits in addition to the associated major.
Emphases and concentrations must be taken as part of or in addition to the required credits
in the major.
Credits listed in this catalog are always semester credits.
