This list is a guide for students to use in the selection of their graduate program. A student selects a major subject and an area of concentration from
among those listed under the field to which he or she was admitted. Minor subjects and concentrations may be chosen from the same field or other
fields; however, fields of Special Committees may place restrictions on the choice of minor subjects. Degrees are listed beside the subjects to which
they apply. Below are the explanations of typefaces and asterisks.
