Additionally, deans are the principal administrators in the four degree-granting schools.
Departments offer majors leading to a degree. A major consists of 30-75 semester credit hours in an academic discipline, as prescribed in the program of study for that discipline. In some cases, there is more than one program of study available for a major and is indicated by the various concentrations offered within the specified major discipline. The student chooses the program of study that most closely fits his or her interests and goals. A student may also pursue a minor in an academic discipline by earning 15-18 semester credit hours in that field, as prescribed by the appropriate academic department. The academic structure is given below.
