Overview

The degree requires students to combine courses from multiple disciplines demonstrating the necessity of a multidisciplinary approach to understanding and solving problems in today’s complex world.

Key facts

Admission to the self-designed major program is by application only. The first step for the student who wishes to enter the program is to contact Dr. Alicia McGill, the Self-Design Major Coordinator, who will provide initial guidance in formulating the description of the proposed degree and assist the student in identifying a faculty advisor.

With assistance from the adviser, the student completes an application for the self-designed program (application form and instructions are linked below). The application must be approved by the Self-Designed Major Committee. This committee meets twice a semester to review applications.
