At Jewell, you may choose a self-designed major specifically tailored to your academic interests and professional goals. A self-designed major is ideal when existing courses from two or more fields of study can be combined to create a customized program, or when you want to master subjects that require a different approach than existing structured majors.
A faculty advisor will help you create a plan of study that will result in completion of either a bachelor of arts or a bachelor of science degree. Your proposed major must match the rigor of Jewell’s existing major programs and reflect our vision of a liberal arts education. After Jewell’s Curriculum and Educational Policy Committee and the Provost have the plan, you may begin charting your own path.
