In considering how to make the most of Brown's open curriculum while moving towards a concentration, students might:

• Seek advice from several different sources. Professors, academic advising deans, and peer advisors can offer new perspectives and critical information. Many concentrations have a Departmental Undergraduate Group (DUG) that can provide insight into a course of study.
• Compare and contrast potential undergraduate programs. Concentrations not only differ in content and approach, but also in size and academic culture. Students wishing to pursue an independent concentration should review the online database of approved independent concentration proposals and consult with one of the peer coordinators at the Curricular Resource Center (CRC).

Students who are thinking about double concentrating should consider these questions and policies.
