Explaining the difference between the program types:
- Major – A major represents a degree-seeking student’s primary field of study. A major is a structured plan of study ranging from between 33-80 semester credit hours. Within the major, courses may either be specifically required or chosen from distributed lists. Clusters of courses (typically 4 to 6) may constitute a specific emphasis area, track, or concentration within the major (see definitions below). The purpose of a major field of study is two-fold: first, to provide students the experience of studying a subject area in depth; and second, to provide specialized education or credentialing within a specific field of study.
- Undergraduate majors are typically four-year degrees
- Graduate majors typically require an undergraduate degree to be completed first
- Minor – A minor is an optional, secondary field of study for a degree-seeking student, requiring between 15-29 semester credit hours, exclusive of student teaching. No student may declare a major and a minor in the same discipline.
- Certificate – A certificate is a 12 credit hour program
