Following are links to lists of sample specializations (formerly called "Focus Areas") for each degree/concentration. In consultation with your adviser, you may choose to follow one of the samples or adjust it as appropriate. You may also wish to develop a specialization that is not listed in this selection. The important thing to remember is that your specialization *must* be approved in advance by your adviser.
As you develop your focus area, think about how your focus area:
- helps you to deepen your overall understanding of sustainable development
- helps you to develop an interest that is complementary to your concentration and major
- helps you to prepare for the work you hope to do in the future
- helps you to create a coherent program of study
