Self-Determined
Majors
A
self-determined major is a course of study not
necessarily contained within or directly related
to a major department at Skidmore College. Occasionally,
a student may discover within a major field some
intellectual connections to another area of study
not possible within the requirements for a traditional,
a double, or an interdepartmental major. He or
she may discover specific ways that disciplines
converge to form a body of knowledge rich in its
potential for sustained academic study. This may
include connections between the College's degree
programs and the professional world or the curricula
of other colleges. Often, these connections can
provide serious and motivated students with exciting,
intellectually demanding, and academically rewarding
study. In order to constitute a viable major,
a self-determined major must go beyond merely
pulling together a random list of disparate courses.
