General requirements

After completing 30 hours at UM-Dearborn with a 3.25 or higher GPA, a rising sophomore would seek out a Professor on a tenure track faculty appointment to propose their individual major idea. Anyone interested should plan to write up the proposal before meeting with the possible faculty advisor, or if meetings have already occurred, frame the discussions that have occurred in the written proposal with a possible title.
A minimum of 24 hours of 300 level or above course work is required. Keep in mind the title will go on the official transcript at graduation. If the proposed faculty advisor is an Assistant Professor, an Associate or Full Professor must also be brought into the plan before approval will be granted.
