Areas of Study

At Juniata we have programs of emphasis (POEs) and secondary emphases rather than the traditional majors/minors system.

Students work with their academic advisors to identify what they are passionate about, explore endless opportunities, and ultimately design an education that aligns with their future goals and career interests.
