Special Major and Minor

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.
