In choosing a major, a student may propose a program that combines academic work in several departments. The proposal requires the support of at least two departments and one member of each supporting department who will agree to serve on the student's Major Committee. This program shall be limited to a total of about 30 students in the College of Arts and Sciences. An independent interdisciplinary major must be declared before the end of the student's junior year.

Students who wish to develop a proposal for an independent interdisciplinary major should consult the Office of Undergraduate Academic Affairs.
