<p>how exactly does the “concentrations” work? when do you decide your concentration, and can you choose to concentrate in more than one? if multi-concentration is possible, then how many is a realistic number?</p>
<p>i am seriously considering concentrating in law…so do any of u current SMG students know of anyone who concentrated in law? if so, then what do they usually choose to do after graduating? how do they use their law concentration as an advantage…other than going to law school?</p>
<p>Everyone in SMG (generally) takes 16 courses in CAS and 16 courses in SMG. Of the 16 SMG courses, everyone takes the same 12 (with rare exceptions). Everyone is also awarded the same degree (a B.S.B.A.) and all of the diplomas look the same.</p>
<p>The remaining four SMG courses are your electives that you take second semester junior year (after Core) and senior year. They determine your concentration (which shows up on your transcript). Each concentration has its own requirements (some say you have to take four specific courses, some give you lots of leway in choosing which four). </p>
<p>Many people double concentrate. I'm doing accounting and finance in addition to doing a dual degree. To double concentrate, you just take the courses required--in my case, four accounting courses and four finance courses. It's not that hard to do if you have AP credit. I have a friend who is tripple concentrating, but it's really unnecessary to do more than one other than for your own intellectual curiosity. </p>
<p>Most people I've met choosing law do intend on law school. I can't tell you much about their job opportunities other than that.</p>
<p>Is it possible to double major and have a minor in something as well? Or is that just too much. I want to do either finance & accounting, or finance & international business while minoring in a foreign language.</p>
<p>First thing: keep in mind that you're not double majoring--there's only one major in SMG.</p>
<p>I don't see any reason why double concentrating and getting a minor isn't doable--I know several people who have done it. I have a friend--a future Deloitte employee--who double concentrated (accounting and finance) and double minored (music and geology or something).</p>
<p>I believe that international business concentrators are required to take language courses as part of the concentration, so some of your requirements will overlap.</p>
<p>Keep in mind that you will need AP courses and may need to overload at some point to accomplish this. You'll find out once you get here.</p>
