Students are expected to complete most of the requirements in general education by the end of the sophomore year. At this time, students must select a discipline or area in which they will concentrate their study.  The discipline or subject area selected is referred to as a major. Through pursuit of a given major, students should develop a basic understanding of the concepts and principles of a discipline as well as of skills associated with related practical applications.
