What is the benefit of choosing a Concentration?

[Dr John]

I do not think there is much difference in the terms. There is a technical difference in that a concentration is probably a bit less restrictive in terms of courses that have to be done a certain way, it allows for a little bit of flexibility. I may be wrong on this, but I understand that Harvard University refers to their degree majors as concentrations.

Do what I do and just think of the concentration as a major, it is essentially the same thing unless you were in a degree program that needed specific program accreditation, like APA for a Psych degree then the terms might mean something....then again maybe not.
