Keep in mind—what is the best educational approach to pursing your specific interests and goals?
1. Are any of these plans an option?
two majors
major + concentration
major + coordinate program
major + courses of special interest
A Contract Major may not be the best choice to achieve your goals—talk to different departments about what they currently offer.
You should consider a Contract Major!
2. Are you in good academic standing with the college? Are you highly motivated? Can you work independently?
It sounds like you have what it takes to pursue a Contract Major!
Approval of a Contract Major is contingent upon a student's academic record, the coherence and feasibility of the plan of study, and endorsements from faculty.
3. Have you identified at least three full-time faculty-in-residence who specialize in your areas of interest?
Great! The next step is obtaining official support from these faculty if you decide to pursue a Contract Major.
Having the support of three faculty members is required—you may want to talk to individual faculty to better understand the variety of specialization that exists on campus.
