| Subject area (an entity under which courses are offered) For example: Although French, Women's Studies, Asian American Studies Institute, and many other areas do not have a separate "academic department," they are all known as subject areas.
Some academic departments have two or more subject areas. Example: Modern and Classical. Languages offers courses under FREN, GERM, ITAL, etc.
A subject area does not have to be connected to a major in that area. Example: JAPN, is a subject area, but no major in Japanese is offered. |
