Whats the difference between a major, minor concentration, and endorsement?
The major is the prime area you are studying. As an example: History A concentration means you take about 12 units in a specific area: Roman History. A minor means you take about 21 units in a field: History major and Math minor. The two are usually not directly related. An endorsement means an area of certification. I have a social studies certification, with an endorsement of grades 5-8 and 9-12.
