Mandatory concentration requirement

The design of the CEN degree program will require students to determine the concentration area they are interested in pursuing at the time of application to the program as it has a direct correlation to the curriculum the student will follow.

The selected concentration area will determine the academic support team the student will work with from application to graduation.
