What’s the difference between a Specialization and a Concentration?
Concentration is an official MSU academic term used to describe a component of one's undergraduate curriculum.

You are required to choose a concentration within your major. Adding a specialization is optional and would be in addition to your major and concentration.

For example, within our Media Arts and Technology major, you MUST choose a concentration in either (1) TV, Cinema & Radio OR (2) Games, Web and Interactive. If you'd like, you may add a (optional) specialization, for example a specialization in Fiction Film Production. See our complete list of majors, concentrations, and specializations.
