CCC's are not majors or minors. They are designed to complement your chosen major and help you plan your overall program of study. Courses in a CCC which are part of your major count toward the completion of a CCC.

Why should I complete a CCC?

Will my transcript show successful completion of a CCC?

Because CCC's are not majors or minors, the CCC title will not appear on the transcript. All the courses involved will appear, however. The College of Arts and Sciences will recognize your completion of a CCC upon the certification of success by your major department.
