Deadline for University Major Applications – April 1!
Mar. 30, 2009 by ngarrett
The University Major affords students the opportunity to:
- design a program that responds to their individual interests and aptitudes
- provide the excitement and the challenge of using the methodologies of two or more disciplines
- give students the chance to work independently on an entire program, developing the necessary background and integrating the courses chosen in order to achieve the objectives the student has set
A student who wishes to arrange a University Major should discuss their intended program with members of the faculty in the student’s fields of interest. The purpose of the discussions is to help the student clarify preliminary plans and select the three faculty members who will serve as sponsors.
The proposal and supporting documents should be submitted to Dean Marina Melendez by April 1 for spring admission. The Committee on University Majors meets twice yearly, normally in November and April.
If your University Major proposal has not been reviewed by the major declaration deadline, you still must declare a major. You must be truly prepared to major in what you declare, since not all applications are successful.
