The program's curriculum is designed to fulfill the core requirements taken in the first two years of most bachelor's degree programs. A concentration is not required for graduation, but concentrations are available in Humanities, Justice Studies, Social Sciences, and Women's Studies. Only one concentration per degree is allowed.
