The Individualized Major

In addition to the majors listed in the following sections, each campus offers students the opportunity of pursuing an individualized major on a topic or area of study of special interest. An individualized major is a program of study that may include courses and learning experiences from more than one subject area and from more than one division. The student and the faculty advisor collaborate to develop learning outcomes as well as assessment strategies, drawing on expertise provided by other faculty members and professionals in the chosen field. All individualized majors require the approval of the vice president for academic affairs or his designee. Individualized majors have been designed in areas such as: fire service management, labor and management relations, and studies in christian ministry. Students interested in learning more about individualized major opportunities are encouraged to contact a faculty advisor at any Ottawa University location. The individualized major may not be used to circumvent degree requirements that have not been met.
