The Student Constructed Major (SCM) allows a student to design a major to meet specific needs and purposes that cannot be met in any other way. The SCM is interdisciplinary in nature and differs substantially from established curriculum course combinations and emphases already available through major, minors, and electives. The major may include course offerings from any of the schools (Arts and Sciences; or Business Administration) and courses from the Teacher Education Department.
The SCM is designed in consultation with the SCM Coordinator, who will guide the student to the appropriate faculty advisor depending on subject and/or course content of the major. Formal Applications for the SCM must be submitted on or before a student reaches 90 earned credits (senior status). On the final transcript, the major will appear as “Student Constructed Major” - followed by the title of the Student Constructed Major.
The SCM contract must be approved by the student’s faculty sponsor, the SCM coordinator, the Registrar (or designee) and the Vice President for Academic Affairs (or designee). Students pursuing a student constructed major with a focus in French must get permission from the Associate Dean of Arts and Sciences.
Students interested in a SCM must begin the process through the Registrar’s Office, 160 Miller Student Services, 970-247-7350. Click Student Constructed Major Application to download form.
