Hi,
I want to get a BS -Concentration in Math or physics via online degree. How does this differ from majoring in math? I eventually want to get into a masters program in physics or math at a traditional university. Would I be able to do this with an online degree?
Thank you in advance!
ASO

It 's just vocabulary. A major is a concentration, depends on the school. A minor is an area of focus, again, depends on the school.

Yep, it depends on the school. Correct me if I'm wrong, but my understanding is that schools that do not have majors use concentrations, which are basically the same. Schools with majors have minors and/or concentrations. For example, I'm majoring in security studies for my graduate program and my concentration is regional studies. In this case, a concentration and major are not comparable because the concentration is only 9-15 credits; but, the concentration is not standalone. It's paired with a major. If the concentration is at least 30 credits, it's comparable to a major and you should be okay for graduate school.
