Graduate Areas of Concentration
A graduate area of concentration is defined as a subdivision of a major or minor in which a strong graduate program is available. Areas of concentration may be referenced on the student's program of study, but they are not listed on the student's transcript. Areas of concentration are identified initially within the Category I proposal that establishes the graduate major or in the Category II proposal that establishes the graduate minor. Areas of concentration are listed in the OSU Catalog. Instructions for revising, adding, and deleting areas of concentration are available on the OSU Curricular Procedures and Policies web page.
