What's a department? What's a program?

Colleges and Universities A-Z Elon University

<p>Can someone please explain the difference between the departments and programs listed on this page: Elon</a> College, the College of Arts and Sciences</p>

<p>The program of Non-Violence Studies looks right up Son's alley. But when we click on it, we can't tell if it's a major or a minor. Elon</a> University - Academics</p>

<p>They refer to it as "this minor" in the second paragraph. So, does that mean the first paragraph describes is as a major?</p>

<p>Thanks.</p>

<p>They could certainly make it clearer, but most (if not all) of the "Programs" are interdisciplinary minors, not majors. The interdisciplinary majors are in the column under Departments. This page Elon</a> University - Academics is better and has a clear list of majors and minors at the bottom.</p>

<p>It looks like three communications majors (Broadcast & New Media, Corporate, Cinema) have been deleted. Have they all been combined into Communication Science, a new major for 2008?</p>

<p>Sort of. There appears to have been a large revamp, effective this year. </p>
