Graduate Concentrations

A graduate concentration constitutes a coherent program of study requiring considerable depth of knowledge. A concentration may refer to a subfield within a discipline, or to an interdepartmental and/or interdisciplinary area of knowledge. Concentrations are included on academic transcripts.

Some concentrations (major-based) are only open to a student majoring in the offering department. Other concentrations (floating) are open to students in a broad range of majors. Both types are listed here, with the eligible programs listed below each concentration.
