A concentration is a grouping of courses under one discipline of 24 credits. All students are asked to take the first and second cores and then select two courses from ‘PL and the Disciplines’ (a group of philosophy or philosophically-minded courses in disciplinary or interdisciplinary reflection on a specific discipline, topic or theme). The concentration accompanies a declared major and has no additional general education requirements.
