Bachelor of Arts in Committee Interdisciplinary

University of Wisconsin - Milwaukee

The Committee Interdisciplinary Major is an option for self-directed and highly motivated students whose academic interests go beyond the existing major programs at UWM. Students interested in this major must have in mind a topic that connects ideas from more than one major and that cannot be addressed within an existing major. They should discuss this topic with a faculty member who has related research and/or teaching interests to determine whether the topic is truly interdisciplinary. If the faculty member agrees to advise the student on their topic, the student and the faculty member will work together to identify two more faculty members to serve on the student’s interdisciplinary committee. The student will also work with their faculty advisor to develop the major proposal and declare this major.
