Each student is required to complete a major program of study in order to graduate. The purpose of the major is to offer the experience of study in depth. As students learn more about a particular body of knowledge, they are able to build upon prior learning and ask questions that will lead them toward greater competence in the discipline. The major also prepares students for graduate study or for employment after graduation.
The College offers majors in the following fields. Specific course requirements may be found by linking to the appropriate department web site. Some fields offer more than one degree option within the major.
Although not required, a student has the option of declaring a major and minor(s) or a double major. In the case of a double major, a student must declare a primary major which will determine the degree awarded, and complete both majors fully. Students with double majors must complete the senior capstone experience in both majors.
