UNDERGRADUATE MAJORS, MINORS, AND ASSOCIATED AREAS OF STUDY

Students are urged to become informed of and understand all requirements concerning their intended majors, minors, and associated areas of study. Special restrictions apply to some majors and minors; for example, some minors require formal application or declaration by students, others may be completed without such formalities. Information about the programs listed below may be found in the academic unit sections of the Catalogue.

Undergraduate majors are offered in all of the bachelor's degree programs on the list of degree titles; the degree programs are referred to as majors in the following list. In association with these majors, UCI offers a number of minors, concentrations, specializations, and emphases.

A minor consists of a coordinated set of courses (seven or more) which together take a student well beyond the introductory level in an academic field, subject matter, and/or discipline but which are not sufficient to constitute a major. An interdisciplinary minor consists of courses offered by two or more schools or programs. All minors, including interdisciplinary minors, are available to all students regardless of their major, with the exception that students may not minor in their major. Minors are listed on a student's transcript but not on the baccalaureate diploma.

A concentration is a program of interdisciplinary study consisting of courses offered by two or more schools or programs. Concentrations are similar to minors in that they require fewer units of work than majors do, and the area of concentration appears on the student's transcript but not on the baccalaureate diploma. Concentrations are taken in combination with a major in one of the schools or programs offering the concentration.

A specialization is a program of study which enables students to focus on courses in a particular field within a major. The area of specialization pursued appears on the student's transcript but not on the baccalaureate diploma.

An emphasis is a program of study within a major which emphasizes a specific area of the discipline. Emphases usually have a defined course of study and are not listed on the transcript nor on the baccalaureate diploma.

Honors programs for qualified upper-division students are available within the following majors: Anthropology; Applied Ecology; Biochemistry and Molecular Biology; Biological Sciences; Chemistry; Chicano/Latino Studies; Criminology, Law and Society; Drama; Economics; Environmental Analysis and Design; Information and Computer Science; International Studies; Linguistics; Mathematics; Neurobiology; Physics; Political Science; Psychology; Psychology and Social Behavior; Social Sciences; and Sociology. Additionally, the Humanities Honors Program is open to qualified upper-division students regardless of major, and the Campuswide Honors Program is available to selected high-achieving students in all majors from their freshman through senior years. Excellence in Research Programs are available to Biological Sciences, Engineering, and Psychology majors.
