Special Major

The University offers a baccalaureate degree with a Special Major.  This permits a student to propose a program of correlated studies in two or more fields.  This alternative aims at the student who wants to pursue a field of study not covered by one of the University's departments.  A student who transfers with a large number of upper division units in a degree program not offered at the University can find this alternative particularly useful.

Click here for the request form: Special Major (Bachelors of Arts Degree).   The Special Major BA consists for a minimum of 55 quarter units, 35 of which must be upper division.  The courses must be distributed among different fields of study.  Please consult with your academic advisor for guidance in completing the form.
