Concentrations

The names of the departments generally convey their educational and research specialization, or concentration. Where several concentrations are available within a department, these are listed in the chart above. In the Department of Environmental Health only, the concentrations are shown on diplomas. Areas of interest, described in this catalog but not listed above, are generally less formal programs than concentrations or are subspecializations within them.
