Think of an Academic Program Portfolio<\/b> as the “Master Catalog” or the structural DNA of an institution. The portfolio is best understood as a nested hierarchy. It organizes academic offerings from the broadest credentials down to the most specific specializations.<\/p>\n Degrees:<\/b> The highest level of the inventory (e.g., BS, BA, MS, PhD).<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Majors:<\/b> The primary field of study tied to a degree (e.g., Biology, Finance).<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Concentrations:<\/b> Specialized “tracks” or “emphases” within a major that allow for deeper focus (e.g., a Finance major with a Wealth Management<\/i> concentration).<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Minors:<\/b> Secondary areas of study that complement a major but do not lead to a full degree.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Certificates:<\/b> Targeted, often shorter-term credentials focused on specific skills or professional competencies.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.19.3″ _module_preset=”default” min_height=”227.6px” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.19.3″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_testimonial author=”Anne E.
