Many students are likely to take several of the qualifying Tier 2 courses regardless of concentration. |
| In choosing their electives, concentrators must take at least three (3) courses from Tier 1. A student's remaining elective courses may be taken from courses listed in either Tier 1 or Tier 2. No more than nine (9) credits of course work from courses in Tier 2 may count toward the concentration electives.
