In addition to the conventional major fields of study, the College provides, within the limits of its resources, the opportunity for an individualized major (an interdisciplinary studies major), based upon the special needs of a student. A student may propose areas of major concentrations not provided for within the structure of existing programs. At least three faculty members must sponsor the student’s major plan, one faculty member from each concentration. Permission to pursue an individualized major must be approved by the Office of Academic Affairs.
Students seeking an individualized major or Interdisciplinary Studies degree must complete all General Education requirements. In addition, they must complete 12 CORE Courses and 60 semester hours of coursework:
- 24-1st Major concentration (inclusive of INTS 4300 - Interdisciplinary Studies Capstone Course)
- 18-2nd Major concentration
- 18-3rd Major concentration
51 hours of the individualized major must consist of junior (3000) and/or senior (4000) level coursework.
