Area of Concentration
Explanation:
Muitas universidades americanas oferecem "Areas of Concentration" dentro de uma especialização, um foco especial de estudos, além de estudos gerais, que é facultativo. Isso existe em vários departamentos de pharmacology também, como na Georgetown University:

http://pharmacology.georgetown.edu/concentrations

"Georgetown University Medical Center, Department of Pharmacology and Physiology:
Areas of Concentration

Because the Department of Pharmacology & Physiology has significant areas of strength, including research, natural products, and neuropharmacology, students in the MS program in Pharmacology can either have a varied set of electives or can concentrate their elective credits in one of these areas... If the student desires to focus elective credits in one area, the department offers three areas of concentration."

Major


Explanation:
sugestão.

"In the United States and Canada, an academic major is the academic discipline to which an undergraduate student formally commits. A student who successfully completes all courses established in an academic major qualifies for an undergraduate degree. The word "major" is also sometimes used administratively to refer to the academic discipline pursued by a graduate student or postgraduate student in a master's or doctoral program. The term may also apply to a focused field of an academic discipline that a student chooses at the doctoral studies level." Wikipedia

Focus Area


Explanation:
I believe "área de concentração" is a subdivision of "Ciências Farmacêuticas" in this particular context, i.e. Pharmaceutical Sciences would be the major and "Produtos Naturais Bioativos" is a disciplinary part of it.

Check out this example:

http://www.kgi.edu/academic-programs/postdoc-professional-ma...

1. “Focus Fridays” - Students enrolled in the two-year MBS program typically enroll in a series of elective courses surrounding a career-oriented “major” during their second year. KGI offers five majors: The Business of Bioscience, Bioprocessing, Devices & Diagnostics, Pharmaceutical Discovery and Development, and Clinical and Regulatory Affairs. This year KGI is organizing a Friday industry event around each of these major themes. Focus Fridays will include speakers, roundtable panels, and networking events in which managers and scientists from companies representing the given focus track area will be invited to campus. More importantly, this is an opportunity for all students to get a better understanding of a **focus area,** even if they don’t plan to take advanced courses within it.

http://gsbs.uthscsa.edu/graduate_programs/translatoinal-scie...

The D.D.S./Ph.D. programs gives students the opportunity to obtain a D.D.S. degree and Ph.D. in the **focus area** of Craniofacial Oral-biology through the School of Dentistry and the Graduate School of Biomedical Sciences.
