At the University of Illinois, instruction in this field is divided into five areas. These are Area 1, Area 2, Area 3, Area 4 and Area 5. Each of these areas, or subfields, addresses some particular subset of our field.. As students grow in their understanding and take more advanced courses, they learn how ideas, concepts and theories from one area relate to those in another.
Each subfield contains an introductory field course, other intermediate courses, and advanced-level (300- and 400-level) courses. Generally, students should take the introductory course in a given field before taking any advanced level courses in that field.
