A specialization is a focused area of study attached to a specific major, and is in addition to course requirements for the major. In 1994, the Undergraduate Council oversaw the conversion most specializations into minors—standalone areas of study that could complement a wide array of majors. The Computing Specialization was exempted from conversion. The following majors are approved to have an optional Computing Specialization.
