Below are the emphasis requirements for 2018-19. Prior catalog years may have slightly different requirements so check your degree audit for official course lists, however students may ask their advisor to insert any newer requirement courses into their emphasis section as well (i.e. if a course is on this list or the 2019 list but not on your audit, your advisor may add it so it counts towards the emphasis or you may change to a newer catalog year).
