So what is an Academy anyway?

• Academies are small learning communities within a
  school that draw on the interests of students in
  learning about a particular field of study.
• Academies help prepare students for their
  post-secondary education and careers through
  academic learning and hands-on work experiences
  within a theme-based, contextualized curriculum.
• Through participating in Academies, students are
  exposed to broad career opportunities and
  experiences in the work force that enable them to
  make sound choices for their academic and
  professional careers.

What is the difference between an Academy and a
Major?

• Majors exist under each Academy. Academies are
  like departments that contain a number of majors
  related to different areas of study.
• Students choose a major based on their career
  interests.
• For example, a student who was interested in
  studying Law would choose the Legal major under
  the International Business Finance Academy.
