Concentrations & Minors

Students at UAM-CUSE can earn a double-major, concentration, or minor while working towards their bachelor’s degree in any number of possible combinations!

Double-major

A Major is the principle field of study and requires at least 31 credits in the specialty above the common and professional core courses. With the permission from the Provost, students may be allowed to earn two degrees simultaneously! Students who wish to earn a double-major must complete all 300 and 400 level classes required for that degree.

Concentrations

A Concentration is a special emphasis within the major and consists of at least 24 hours of credit in that emphasis.  For example, within the major of International Development, the student may concentrate in Political Economy, Environmental Issues, Public Policy, Tourism Development, or education. Students can work on their concentration during their career studies.

Minors

A Minor is a secondary area of specialized study which may be outside of one’s major and requires at least 18 credits in that specialty. There are plenty of options from which students can choose according to their interests! Students can work on their minor during their career studies or in their last semester at UAM-CUSE.
