About the Major

Students normally pursue one of the regular academic majors offered by the college. However, students also have the option of designing their own major so that they may engage in in-depth study that draws on two or more academic disciplines at the college. These programs, called Interdisciplinary Studies majors, are individualized programs of study developed in consultation with the faculty advisor.
