Program Overview
MANY OF THE JOBS OF TOMORROW haven’t even been invented yet. To flourish in that sort of dynamic space, you need an educational experience that will give you a breadth of knowledge.
When you design your own major, you’ll research and study across multiple disciplines for a true, holistic approach to education and gain a varied skill set. Our curriculum allows you to work closely with faculty who have expertise in their own unique disciplines. Each one of these mentors will help guide you towards your vision of having a lasting cultural impact.
Have you always been told that you prefer to forge your own path? Our Interdisciplinary Studies: Design Your Own Major program provides more flexibility to navigate an increasingly complex workplace where employees are expected to take on multiple roles, have multiple skills and synthesize multiple perspectives.
When you and your dedicated academic advisor design your own major, you’ll explore your passions and hone in on future opportunities that are right for you. Preparation for the work of tomorrow starts here.
NOTE: Program of study must be approved by faculty committee in order for students to continue with their intended major. Students will create a proposal their first semester while taking general studies courses. Your academic advisor will be able to discuss with you in more detail.
