Concentrations

Concentrations are designed to provide learners with deeper knowledge in a specific subject area. They include a specific set of courses in a narrowly defined field of study that is taken either to fulfill a degree program requirement or add to a degree program requirement. Learners enrolled in an eligible degree program that does not include a concentration as part of its requirements may request to be enrolled in eligible concentrations at any point during their program. The degree and concentration are awarded simultaneously upon completion of the program and concentration requirements.

Learners who do not complete all program requirements within credit minimums will be required to accrue such additional credits as are associated with any additional or repeat coursework necessary for successful completion of program requirements.
