Ateneo de Manila University offers a wide range of fields of specialization in the arts, sciences, and management through the major curricula. Each major curriculum consists of a sequence of courses that provide a strong program of training in the area of specialization in which the student wishes to major. Usually the field of concentration will involve introductory courses in either the first or second year. These first and second year courses, however, are kept at a minimum in order to allow flexibility so that the student can shift to another major with the least loss of time and units.
