Apply to a Concentration
You have nine concentrations to choose from for your Business program. The requirement term for your concentration is based on the term of your declaration. For example, if you declare your concentration in Fall 2023, you will follow the Fall 2023 requirements for the concentration you declared. For this reason, we advise you to declare your concentration sooner than later. You can add or remove the concentration at any time.
Please use the Concentration Application Form to declare or modify your concentration.
