Diverse Concentration Subjects Across All Mainstream College Majors
Find deep academic topics that align with your passion and intended college major
DSA subjects are more specialized and advanced than high school subjects or even international curriculum courses like AP or A-Level. We focus on concentration subjects—advanced topics typically found in sophomore, junior, or senior-level college courses.
Instead of testing broad subjects like "Economics" or "Physics," DSA examines specific concentrations within those fields, allowing you to demonstrate deep expertise in areas you're truly passionate about.
Select a field to discover available concentration subjects
Advanced economic and business concentrations
Science, technology, engineering, and mathematics concentrations
Advanced topics in psychology, sociology, and political science
Literature, philosophy, history, and cultural studies
Specialized engineering disciplines and applications
Fine arts, design theory, and creative disciplines
We design DSA subjects by analyzing actual college curriculum from leading universities. For any given major, students typically need to take 10-20+ specialized courses. Each of these course titles becomes a potential DSA subject.
This ensures our subjects reflect real collegiate academic expectations and prepare students for the depth of study they'll encounter in college.
For each subject, we identify leading college textbooks (typically 600-700 pages) and extract 20-30% of the essential content. Our official guides cover:
This targeted approach makes deep learning accessible without requiring students to master entire textbooks—a more realistic expectation for high school students.
While we have planned a portfolio of diverse subjects, we release them gradually to ensure each subject has:
Unlike AP or IB programs where students often take 5-6 subjects across different fields, DSA students should focus on subjects they're genuinely passionate about.
Key Principle:
Start with one or two subjects in your area of interest. Once you feel comfortable, you're welcome to explore deeper and take multiple subjects—all centered around the same field or major. Colleges value depth of knowledge and genuine passion over breadth.
Choose subjects that align with your intended college major. If you're passionate about economics and plan to study it in college, take DSA subjects in economic concentrations. This demonstrates:
Don't know where your talents lie? DSA can help you discover them. Try subjects in areas you're curious about. Deep assessment reveals aptitude that surface-level testing might miss.
We are continuously expanding our subject offerings. The examples shown on this page represent a small portion of our planned diverse subjects.
