Fields of study
The college offers students more than fifty fields of study. Specific options
are frequently referred to as tracks. The tracks are listed below according
to the sponsoring department or program, and the course requirements for
each option are outlined in the departmental headnotes in a subsequent section
of the catalog. Any option listed below may be chosen as a major unless
denoted as being available only for a contextual and support area, a minor,
or a service area. A student whose interests are not met by any of the established
majors may apply for an individualized area of concentration, planned in
