I'm enrolled at Excelsior for the BS in Liberal Arts and I'm wondering what, if any, is the benefit of choosing an area of Concentration (Minor)? I was on the phone with my advisor yesterday and I asked him if I should choose an area of Concentration and he told me that if I took two more history exams, one being UL, I could have History as my area of Concentration. I need to take one additional UL exam to complete my requirement anyway, so he suggested Rise and Fall of the Soviet Union; and I'm thinking why not? I realize that the area of Concentration goes on your transcript and not your actual degree, but I'd like to know how this can help you?
