The Individually Designed Major allows you to develop an academic program to enable you to pursue a career path that coincides with your ambitions, values and passions. Our faculty guide students to ensure they?re ready to take the next step in their lives ?whether that be gaining meaningful employment, or furthering their studies at a graduate or professional school.

Students have the liberty to choose their courses, but the path must follow a true major and include an appropriate number of upper division courses. It cannot merely be a collection of lower division elective courses. The major can, however, be an extension of a presently offered major, or can be a wholly new subject such as Chinese Studies, Latin American Culture or Social Justice.

Eligibility:

• To be eligible, you must have an overall GPA of at least 3.0 at the time of application, and have appropriate direction from at least two faculty advisors.
• The?Application form?must be submitted no later than the second semester of your second year. The application is to be made early enough for the application process to be completed before pre- registration for the fall semester.
