The Student Planned Major provides students who wish to graduate from the College of Arts and Sciences the opportunity to pursue educational goals which cannot readily be accommodated in the College’s disciplinary majors. The student will complete the College’s Liberal Education Curriculum and work with a College Advisor plus at least two faculty advisors to create an individually tailored course of study of sufficient credit hours to meet general degree requirements. Students completing this major are eligible to receive either the B.A. or the B.S. degree depending upon the particular configuration of course work selected.

Any undergraduate student in good academic standing, with 75 or fewer semester hours earned, is eligible to enter the SPM. Students interested in this option should contact the Director of Advising in the College of Arts and Sciences. Those entering the SPM are expected to develop a written statement outlining educational goals and the proposed course of study.
