Interdisciplinary Majors and Minors

Majors

Students may design interdisciplinary majors under the guidance of an academic advisor and by agreement of the chairs of the departments concerned. The major will involve a program flexible enough to satisfy the individual needs of the student but structured enough to insure a practical group of related courses that includes at least 24 upper-division units and a concentration in one area. The following interdisciplinary majors are examples of possible programs:

Humanities — A broad background in the humanities and a special competence in English, Modern Languages and Cultures, Philosophy, or Religious Studies.

Languages and Literature — Training in linguistics, literary criticism, English and foreign languages and their literatures.

Marketing Communication — Broad training in Business and Marketing that builds understanding of organizations and skill in the appropriate use of the media to promote products.

Philosophy and Religious Studies — A selection of courses from these two areas to bring focus to the intersection of faith, reason, spirituality, and ethics.

Software Engineering and Management — Courses from Computer Science and Business appropriate to entry-level technical management.
