Phoenix College, and all MCCCD schools, group academic concentrations into FOIs, or Fields of Interest.  It's a convenient way for students to evaluate potential career paths, and courses they'll need along the way.  You'll learn about FOIs during your Orientation session, and throughout your time at PC, but why wait?  Take a moment now to explore the possibilities!
