Regents Area of Emphasis

RBA students may pursue an Area of Emphasis in any field of study represented by Concord University’s degree programs. Students must complete a program of at least 15 hours of upper division courses (300 level or above) approved by faculty in that subject area. Students must earn an A, B, or C in each course and at least 9 of the credit hours must be from Concord University.

The Division of Business and the Division of Education and Human Performance have established specific curricula for their Regents Areas of Emphasis.
