Paper details
the essay is about you and how the courses selected meet all degree requirements.
should discuss how you went about selecting courses for your concentration and how they help you gained the knowledge required by your concentration’s guidelines. Again, remember that it is not about “listing” the courses but rather discussing how they help you.
If you are pursuing a concentration without guidelines, you still need to explain how we built your concentration. In fact, this section is more important when there are no guidelines for your concentration. I recommend that you do a search for similar degree programs at other institutions and include a thorough discussion about how your degree is similar/follows these other programs. Please remember to include appropriate references.
Concentrations with guidelines are normally listed in the Area of Study Guidelines website.]
