Any undergraduate student who wishes to design a unique curriculum appropriate to her/his individual development may present a written proposal for approval to the faculty advisor and faculty who will supervise the study, and then to the Provost. A student may make the proposal no earlier than the second semester of the freshman year, and no later than the first semester of the junior year. In the proposed course of study, the student must identify its rationale, its liberal arts elements, the major area (usually no more than 70 credits), a proposed schedule for subsequent semesters, and a description of the capstone assessment. The self-designed proposal must incorporate elementary, intermediate, and advanced courses. The student will be responsible for the Liberal Arts Curriculum requirements and capstone assessment requirements as defined in the proposed course of study. The Provost makes the final approval for the self-designed major.
