View source for Concentration

A '''concentration''' is similar to what is called a ''minor'' by other schools within the university (such as [[SEAS]]). Effectively, a concentration has more requirements than a minor, but fewer than a [[major]].  In [[Columbia College]], a concentration is enough for graduation, or it can be paired with another concentration or with a major.

==Special Concentrations==
Columbia College currently lists two special concentrations, [[linguistics]] and [[sustainable development]].  These concentrations cannot stand alone and must be paired with another concentration or major in order to graduate.  The reasoning given by Academic Affairs is that there is not enough full-time staff teaching in these departments to merit a full concentration.
