Student Success
Before coming to JWU, Leah Ward '23 felt like her major restricted the kind of academic experiences she was looking for in college. Once here, she enrolled in the Media & Communication Studies program, but still felt like she wanted to learn other things the program didn’t offer. That’s when she learned about JWU’s Interdisciplinary Studies: Design Your Own Major program.
