Requirements for the bachelor of arts (B.A.) degree from UMM consist of two parts: general education and the major. Students complete a major by fulfilling the requirements as specified in the UMM Catalog. Instead of a major, some students may choose to complete an area of concentration, which is an individualized, often interdisciplinary, group of courses that meets the requirement of study in depth of a specific field of knowledge.
Prototypes for areas of concentration already given provisional approval by the dean--including actuarial science, American Indian studies, American studies, animal behavior, art therapy, biochemistry with forensics science, biology with forensics science, biostatistics, chemistry with forensics science, criminal justice, digital media studies, environmental studies, international studies, journalism, peace studies, and sports management--can be found online at www.morris.umn.edu/academic/areas
Students must fill out appropriate forms and request approval.
