Major alterations involving changes of courses or faculty advisors require approval of the CCC Subcommittee on Independent Concentration. The variety and number of concentrations available may be overwhelming to a student trying to choose an academic program. Sophomores are encouraged to attend Departmental Open Houses held each spring, as well as during Orientation Program. The Open Houses are designed to give students the opportunity to talk with professors about concentrations in their department. These groups hold meetings, invite speakers, and help with academic advising.
More information is available from individual departments.
Multiple concentrations, though not encouraged, are permitted with the permission of the concentration advisors in the appropriate departments and the filing of a concentration form for each concentration. Independent Concentrations are filed with Dean Bengochea as described above. At graduation the University grants Honors to students whose work in a field of concentration has demonstrated superior quality and culminated in an Honors thesis or other project of distinction. Students considering Honors work should consult their departmental or independent concentration advisor. All Completed Concentrations Will Be Recorded On The Official Transcript.
