<p>Are there any colleges in New England/New York in which you can create your own major?</p>
<p>you can create your own major at Bowdoin</p>
<p>This is an option at many, many colleges. Check the websites of the ones you're interested in -- it would be pointless for posters to try to compile a lengthy list.</p>
<p>major. </p>
<p>What areas do you want to study, and why do you want to create your own major?</p>
<p>I would just do what IBclass06 said.</p>
<p>NYU Gallatin - the school of individualized study. you create your own major and take classes according to you</p>
<p>IB is correct. Most schools have this.</p>
<p>Dartmouth.</p>
<p>The list would be shorter if people would list schools where you cannot create your own major.</p>
<p>I wasn't aware that so many schools had this option! Sorry if I wasted any of your time. I guess I just thought it would be advocated more.</p>
<p>And hampster - I would like to major in Humanities... Surveying classics, history, languages (particularly one foreign language), literature, performing arts, music, philosophy, religion, and visual arts. I have strong interest in all of these subjects and I would find it very restricting to have to only study one. UNH is the only school that I've found in New England that has something similar to this major.</p>
<p>NYU Gallatin?</p>
<p>You can do it at Cornell too. Called a College Scholar or independent major dependeing on which school and when you apply for it.</p>
<p>Oh, a humanities major - would like something like this? It asks you to come up with a theme for your major. I think a lot of self-designed majors will want you to come up with a unifying theme for your major.
Humanities</a> Program</p>
<p>One challenge to your plan is that colleges are going to want you to take a fair number of upper division classes that have prerequisites of lower division classes. Majoring in your favorite language at a good LAC and taking a lot of interesting electives might come close to giving you what you are looking for. Or closer yet, look for a major with the word "Studies" in its title. (i.e., don't major in Japanese - major in "East Asian Studies" - more opportunity to take classes in art and religion and philosophy.) For example:
East</a> Asian Studies | Yale</p>
<p>Brown does it. Most places have independent concentrations/majors.</p>
<p>i think NYU Gallatin would be your best bet...you can create your very own major and the location in the city seems to be great for you what with your interests in performing arts, music, and other humanities aspects</p>
<p>Thank you everyone for your help. It does seem that my wide ranging interests may make it hard to find a common theme between then all. There's just so much I am interested in! I don't want to have to sacrifice learning about it all. I will see what I can do. I am looking into Gallatin right now, and I've checked out quite a number of independent programs other schools offer.</p>
<p>Sarah Lawrence, Hampshire, Bennington are schools that put an emphasis on self-designed study. NYU Gallatin as well.</p>
<p>Hopefully the OP already had the question answered since this post is a year old.</p>
<p>Wesleyan has the University Major where you create your own.
Oberlin is really free and you can have a Major or a broader Concentration, and then there is the Jan term where you can do absolutely whatever you want.
Vassar has an independent major option. You really can kind of do it everywhere.
Sarah Lawrence, Bennington, Hampshire emphasize it. as well as Lawrence. Amherst is like Brown in that it has no core requirements. I think the Pitzer school of creative studies lets you do pretty much whatever you want.
il y a pleinnnnnnnnnnn</p>
<p>oh
this post is a year old
haha
whatever it’ll be up forever for the next and next rounds</p>
