Overview

While the needs of most students are well served by existing majors offered on campus, some students have academic interests that do not fit well into existing programs or traditional disciplinary boundaries.

It serves disciplined and self-motivated students who want to major in traditional disciplines or interdisciplinary areas for which majors are not available at Indiana University Indianapolis, as well as those who want to fashion unique interdisciplinary majors that reflect their individual experience, interests, and needs.

Find your purpose through your own customized major

If you have a special interest in pursuing in-depth study of a combination of disciplines across the curriculum, then a personally designed, individualized major may be the opportunity you’re looking for.

Pursuing an individualized major will allow you to pull from your different areas of interests and combine them into one cohesive plan of study. It reflects who you are as an individual. You will work alongside an advisor and faculty members to plan and design your field of study - think of it as your own personalized career path.

How does it work?

The Individualized Major works like any other field of study at IUPUI. You will attend classes, complete all other IUPUI core requirements, and regularly meet with your advisor to make sure you are staying on the path to success. You will also work closely with faculty advisors and your custom-designed major will be overseen and approved by a faculty committee to ensure intellectual integrity and diligence.
