You do not have to select a concentration. Once you complete the foundation and technical requirements (listed below), you are free to select whichever courses align best with your goals. It is best to do this with the guidance of a faculty member/adviser. If you are new to the program, contact Program Director Lilia Pavlovsky, Ph.D.
