Don't ask yourself what the world needs. Ask yourself what makes you come alive and then go do that. Because what the world needs is people who have come alive. - Howard Thurman

Students who design their own majors work closely with faculty advisors to choose a path through the curriculum tailored to the students’ specific interests and learning goals. Students ordinarily complete major proposals by the first semester of their junior year, and transfer students may be able to apply courses completed at another institution toward their self-designed major degree requirements.
