Undergraduate Programs

Concentrations

Concentrations offer a basis for the rigorous study of disciplines that complement the major area of study or are of personal interest to a student. Two types of optional Concentrations are offered.

Disciplinary Concentrations are available to students not majoring in that subject. These Concentrations typically include four courses and are designed for students who wish to concentrate several electives in a particular field. Students are encouraged to explore the option of completing a concentration rather than a full second major.

Multidisciplinary Concentrations support work across disciplines and engage students to think about complex subjects from multiple perspectives. The Concentrations have both global dimensions and special relevance in Abu Dhabi. The Emirate's location and major initiatives in the realm of the environment, technology, and urbanization afford students unusual opportunities for research, field work, and first-hand experiences. The Capstone Project maybe completed in the Multidisciplinary Concentration.
