Declaring a Concentration

Concentrations should be declared no later than the registration deadline for a student’s fourth semester of study (or fifth semester of study for part-time students). To declare a concentration, students must file a Concentration Registration Form with the Office of Academic Records.

Thereafter, students must submit a Concentration Course Selection Form no later than the course drop/add deadline in each semester in which they are enrolled in a concentration. To certify satisfactory completion of a concentration, students must submit a Concentration Completion Form, signed by the faculty advisor.
