Self-Designed Major


Return to {$returnto_text} Return to: Programs of Study

Highly motivated students may propose a self-designed major not falling within one of the departments, divisions, or area study programs. The proposal must include a coherent rationale for the structure and course content of the major and the endorsement of a faculty member willing to serve as advisor. Students can find guidelines on the Provost’s website in the Curriculum Committee Section. In consultation with the Curriculum Committee’s Advisor to Self-Designed Majors and faculty advisor, the student submits the plan to the Curriculum Committee. The proposal must be approved by Curriculum Committee and the Dean of Academic Life, normally prior to the beginning of the junior year and never later than the end of the fifth semester. A student wishing to pursue this option should contact the Dean of Academic Life.
