Major - 30 cr minimum

Minor - 18 cr minimum

An exception to the requirement of a ready-made major may be granted to a limited number of capable students with special needs or interests. For example, the student whose particular academic interests or career goals may better be served by a distinctive and flexible but related grouping of courses that provide for sustained contact with some problem or topic may develop an appropriate major within the existing resources of the college.

Such self-designated proposals are initiated by the student with the aid of the mentor or academic advisor, developed with the assistance of a professor from an appropriate field, and submitted to the Academic Council for evaluation and recommendation. Final action rests with the Vice President of Academics. If approved, a copy of the plan must be filed in the student's records by the Registrar.
