Colleges which allows you to design your own major?

<p>I am interested in a variety of subjects, namely, Economics, Psychology, Philosophy and Biology. Thus, I am looking into colleges that allow you to design your own major. Anyone?</p>

<p>New College of Florida, the state of Florida honors college.</p>

<p>i was under the impression that you could do that at almost any school (70%)</p>

<p>Connecticut College</p>

<p>Hampshire, Bard, Bennington, Sarah Lawrence, Eugene Lang all allow you to design your own major. The goal of many of these schools is to help you find the thread that links your varied interests so that you can tie them together in to some kind of career/life/next line of study.</p>

<p>Pomona College</p>

<p>Furman - Greenville SC</p>

<p>Redlands University</p>

<p>Grinnell and Amherst do that</p>

<p>My school (UBC) has a department in "interdisciplinary studies". You pick a mix of subjects and submit a proposal to the faculty before they let you in. Kind of cool if you're interested in taking more than one/two subjects.</p>

<p>Maybe I'm speaking out-of-turn and a little off-topic, but I have to wonder if studying so many fields is worth it. Don't get me wrong- I think it's excellent to have broad interests. However, with having four different fields of focus, I think you'd only have time to scratch the surface of each. Everything's becoming increasingly specialized... I have to wonder how it useful it will be to just dabble. Maybe it would be better to narrow your major to two and explore your other interests through electives or other means.</p>

<p>Ithaca College, new "Interdisciplinary Major"</p>

<p>I'm surprised no one has mentioned NYU Gallatin yet.</p>

<p>Duke University has a Program II which will allow you to do just that.</p>

<p>George Mason University allows an Integrated Studies major that you build yourself.</p>

<p>My recommendation is to get a double major and a minor. It'll take 5 years, but it'll be worth something. Making your own major is fun, but I've never known anyone that really got much out of it.</p>

<p>Many of the Claremont Colleges in California</p>

<p>Stanford University.</p>

<p>most schools allow you to design your own major</p>

<p>i loudly second hampshire.... every single kid there designs a major... so u'll have company and a great education!!</p>

<p>and Bennington--same thing + the Field Work Term which allows you to work/intern in some of your areas of interest so you can see what you really enjoy and build a resume while doing it!</p>
