ACADEMIC DISTINCTIONS
Distinction programs complement and enhance disciplinary majors and minors, and
provide students with concentrated focus on a particular issue or applied area of study.
Academic distinctions are not required for graduation. Programs are multi- or trans-
disciplinary, include introductory courses and capstone requirements, and may
incorporate experiential learning requirements. Unless specifically noted, courses used to
fulfill distinction program requirements may also be used to fulfill general education and
major or minor requirements. Completion of an academic distinction is announced at
graduation.
