About

The mission of the Self-Designed Major is to provide an avenue by which Lake Forest College students can achieve a level of competence similar to that of students in any of our regularly-offered undergraduate majors, in an academic area of their own design.

Overview

Key features

Working with a faculty advisor, a student accepted into the Self-Designed Major at Lake Forest College can pursue his or her own course of study deeply, culminating in a senior thesis, creative project, or research project. 

A student interested in linguistics, for instance, could major in a modern language and sociology-anthropology but still might find her needs aren’t entirely met with those two departments alone. 

Or a student wanting to pursue advertising might need to combine marketing courses with courses in design and communication.

Programme Structure

Courses include:

  • Visual Rhetoric
  • Civil Liberties
  • Graphic Design
  • Diversity in Organizations
  • Social Movements in Society
