However, alumni center, by itself, is not capitalized. Except for languages , such as English, French and Japanese, the names of academic disciplines, majors, minors, programs and courses of study are not proper nouns and should not be capitalized.
Example : She majored in integrated supply management and German. Academic degrees are capitalized only when the full name of the degree is used, such as Bachelor of Arts or Master of Social Work. Do not use an apostrophe with associate degree or doctoral degree.
Do not capitalize the major specialty. The word "program" is part of relatively few official names at the University. The word program is not capitalized simply because it is preceded by a proper noun. Example: Medallion Scholarship program. Form letters are addressed to groups. The salutation should, therefore, be plural. Capitalize key words, lower case articles and conjunctions, and end with a colon.
Example : "Dear Parents and Family Members:". Lowercase these common nouns when they stand alone in later references: the party, the river, the street, the sound. Lowercase common noun elements of names in all plural uses: Democratic and Republican parties, Ackley and Messer streets, th and th avenues southeast. But don't lowercase the common nouns when the form is not plural: She can catch the bus on Third or Fifth Avenue. Lowercase black, white, red and so on. Many organizations adopt specific capitalization guidelines for their governing boards, facilities, job titles and descriptions, organizational structure, and programs, projects and plans.
It's efficient to develop styles consistent with a standard, readily available, published reference source. Use the whole name on first reference. For later references, shortened versions of organizational names - without the common nouns department, division, section and so on - are acceptable. Capitalize the "proper" name part of full names when using only that part of the name and dropping the common noun: Finance, Accounting, Customer Services.
Don't capitalize those words, however, when describing the general role or work of a group. Also, lowercase the "common" or generic name part of the full name when using only that part of the name: the department, the division, the section. Be sure the context makes clear the organizational unit the common name is mentioning.
