Independent Major

Coordinator: Associate Professor Hairston

Students with intellectual and professional interests, which cannot be met by other major and minor programs, may create an independent major. Independent majors are interdisciplinary in nature and are suitable for highly motivated students willing to assume exceptional responsibility for their own education. Students must have a GPA of at least 3.0 and no more than 66 completed semester hours when applying. Students must obtain application information and guidelines from the coordinator of the independent major, and advice from the coordinator may be helpful in designing an independent major. Details concerning deadlines and final approval for an independent major may be obtained in the office of the coordinator.
