What’s the difference between a major and degree?

A major is a primary discipline of study and a degree is the credential you earn proving your proficiency in any particular major.

There isn’t always a degree designed for every major.

That’s where an interdisciplinary studies degree can fill the gap. Combine concentrations and develop a foundational education in multiple disciplines to fully prepare for new opportunities bridging multiple established industries.
