Concentration Overview

  • Concentrations are available starting with the 2012-2013 ME Curriculum and subsequent catalog years.
  • Concentrations are optional, not required.
  • Concentrations are 15 hours of classes and typically satisfy the Design Elective, the ME Elective and 9 hours of free electives.
  • Concentrations are different than minors because they allow students to specialize in a particular area within ME.
  • Classes used for a concentration may not be used towards a minor or an additional concentration.
  • Students are only allowed to earn one concentration.
  • Concentrations currently do not show up on your transcript, but they may be on your transcript in the future.  Concentrations do not show up on your diploma.

Declare or Remove a Concentration

  • If necessary, change your catalog year.  You must be following the Effective Catalog Year or anything later to declare a concentration.  To change your catalog year, fill out a change of major form.  

          Change Your Catalog Year

  • Declare or remove your concentration in OSCAR.  No forms are required, students can do this on their own.
  • Declare your concentration as soon as you plan to add it.  It can be removed at any time, if you do not pursue it.
