Specializations are interdiciplinary academic programs that ANY MSU undergraduate can elect to take. Specializations are similar to minors in that they focus on an area of study, but are unique in that the courses included in specializations span several departments or colleges at MSU.
Electing to take a speciIalization does not affect your degree requirements. If you don't complete the requirements for a specialization by the end of your academic career, then the specialization will not be included on your transcript, but it will not keep you from graduating.
