Bachelors in Student-Designed, Interdisciplinary Major

The self-designed, interdisciplinary major/minor is for students whose exceptional intellectual interests cross disciplinary boundaries. These majors/minors should reflect a plan of study that cannot be replicated through one of the College s existing majors/minors. Like other majors, a student-designed one must be coherent, provide curricular depth, and include a writing-intensive course and capstone project. It must represent a clearly defined field of study, more than a narrow research topic; and it cannot be pre-professional in orientation. Because students designing their own major/minor are not attached to a particular department or program, they must be self-motivated academically and capable of working independently.
