DEGREES AND CREDENTIALS I 75
SPECIAL MAJOR FOR THE BACHELOR OF ARTS DEGREE
The special major for a bachelor of arts degree provides an opportunity for students to
engage in an individualized course of study leading to a degree when legitimate academic
and professional goals are not accommodated by standard degree majors. The special major
consists of correlated studies in two or more fields. It is not intended as a means of bypassing
normal graduation requirements or a means by which students may graduate who fail to
complete the degree major in which they are enrolled.
The special major must be approved in the office of the Vice President for Academic
Affairs, with approval based upon a case-by-case justification. The candidate must have one
full year of academic work (at least 31 units) still to be completed to meet minimum degree ,
requirements. The minimum requirement for the special major is an approved program of
at least 24 semester units of upper division work. Units applied to satisfy general education
requirements may not be counted.
A student requesting a special major must obtain application forms from the Office of
Advising Services. On these forms the student must: 1) Prepare a statement giving his or her
reasons for desiring a special major in terms of his academic and professional goals and why
the student cannot meet these goals through a standard major; 2) Develop a specific list of
courses which would, in his or her opinion, lead to the academic and professional goals stated
above; 3) Secure the signed approval of the department chairman in the areas from which
the special major courses are drawn. The student must submit the foregoing material to the
Office of the Vice President for Academic Affairs for final approval.
