What is the difference between a minor and a concentration?
Most departments have an approved series of courses that constitute their official minor. We encourage students to complete the official minor in the field of your choice if it is available. This will appear on your transcript. However, some departments do not offer an official minor. In these cases, you would need to complete 15 credits (or five classes) above the 200 level. This would be called a “concentration.” It is also possible to put together a concentration of related courses chosen from more than one department. All concentrations require approval from a Journalism advisor.
