Concentrations (18+ credit hours)
The concentration requirement may be completed in one of three ways:

• Minor, certificate or secondary major: Complete a minor or certificate of 18 or more credits or a secondary major in any field (excluding integrated computer science and computer science), from any college.
• Note: If no minor of 18 or more credits is offered in a given field, you may satisfy this requirement by completing a minor and enough additional credits to reach at least 18 credits in the field. If no minor is offered at all in a given field, you may take 18 credits in that field to satisfy the requirement. Courses counted toward the ICS core cannot count toward the concentration.

• Double major: Earn a second major in any field (excluding integrated computer science and computer science), from any college.
• Interdisciplinary concentration option: Take 18 additional credits from the three core course areas or from the list below to complete an interdisciplinary concentration. These credits must include six classes from three different fields, two at the 500 level or above.
