colleges like Sarah Lawrence don’t have majors, but concentrations rather. Does this effect a person’s employability or chances at getting into grad school negatively?
I doubt it. For grad school they will not care at all. They look at your coursework, so what is on your transcript will matter. At SLC for example you would work with an adviser to make sure you have the foundational courses a grad school would expect and extra classes in your area of interest. For employer they may or may not look at transcripts but saying concentration in X is like saying major in X.
My dd’s school, Brown also has concentrations and she has worked as a software engineer and a data scientist. Oh also went to grad school However at her school the concentrations do have requirements and I am not sure that is the case at SLC.
Thank you @BrownParent !
Yeah, no effect at all. For all intents and purposes, concentrations are majors.
It’s just terminology. Harvard has concentrations also.
