The Major Program
The Individual Major, an integrated program composed of courses from two or more disciplines. It is designed by the student and is subject to approval by an advisor and appropriate college committees. This major enables a student to pursue a specific interest that cannot be accommodated within the framework of an existing major. It must clearly and specifically meet the student’s educational goals as well as meet university and college academic standards.
Student Proposal
A student who wishes to propose an individual major must submit the proposal to the Committee on Undergraduate Curriculum & Educational Policy (CUCEP) prior to reaching 120 units. It is important for the student to make arrangements to speak with an advisor in the Biology Academic Success Center early in the development of their major as no individual major will be approved after a student has completed 120 units.
Faculty Advisor (Selected By Student)
A faculty member in a department or program in the College of Biological Sciences.
Advising
