Majors & Minors

The major is a specified concentration of courses in a department, in addition to designated electives in related departments, which develop expertise in the concepts and skills of a discipline. Minors supplement the major, often emphasizing a special interest, an interdisciplinary approach or vocational skill.

An interdisciplinary major is also offered, usually combining work in three departments.
