Overview
Our program offers four concentrations, which are like minors but are within the major field of study rather than in a different major field of study. These concentrations allow NRE students to deepen their educational experience in an area of their interest. NRE students must declare a concentration and adhere to its requirements, which are discussed in the Academics section. Upon graduation, the concentration appears on the transcript as an official recognition of a specialization in that area.
