Customized Major

program may receive a Bachelor of Arts or Bachelor of Science degree from the School of Business after the completion of a special curriculum approved by the SB Dean’s office. A customized major program is designed to meet needs not fully met by existing curricula. Its curriculum must not simply duplicate that of an existing university degree program. It should, however, compare favorably in coherence, scope, and rigor with other baccalaureate curricula of the university and should offer the breadth necessary to a liberal education.
