Overview

The Joint Major provides a unique opportunity to gain mastery in two disciplines: Computer Science and a selected humanities field. Unlike the double major or dual major, the Joint Major emphasizes integration of the two fields through a cohesive, transdisciplinary course of study and integrated capstone experience. The Joint Major not only blends the intellectual traditions of two Stanford departments-it does so in a way that reduces the total unit requirement for each major.
