Academic Concentrations
"Concentrations" of coursework are for those students who desire to specialize in particular fields of study. Upon completion of a series of courses at SUNYIT, a student may apply to be awarded a Concentration Award, recognizing this accomplishment. Concentrations are available only to those students with sufficient elective hours in their program of study analysis. Students without such elective opportunity may, at their option, complete the necessary concentration work beyond their minimum degree requirements.
Students who have sufficient electives available may decide to satisfy the requirements of two concentrations. Concentrations are presently awarded in accounting, business, finance, health services management, human resources management, and marketing/advertising.
These concentration awards may be of value to students who wish to provide prospective employers with evidence of extended work in an area related to a specific employment opportunity.
A student must complete the course sequences at SUNYIT. They may substitute by petition other SUNYIT courses designated by a faculty concentration advisor. Students should not repeat topics completed at the lower division. All courses must be completed with grades of “C+” or better before the award is approved. All of these sequences require preliminary work in these fields either at a two-year school or at SUNYIT.
