Independent Major 554

Degree: B.S. or B.A.

Director: Barry W. Jesse, Martin Hall, Room 211, 848-932-3510
(jesse@aesop.rutgers.edu)

Students in the School of Environmental and Biological Sciences may elect to design an independent major program if none of the existing undergraduate programs satisfy their needs. Students considering submitting a proposal for an independent major should initially consult the program director for instructions.

Proposals are submitted through the director to the school's Curriculum and Educational Policy Committee, from which they are forwarded to the Academic Forum for approval by the school's faculty. Proposals must include a rationale for the program, the degree sought, a list of courses taken (and to be taken) in fulfillment of the school's degree requirements, and the signature of a faculty member who has agreed to serve as adviser. Students ordinarily should submit proposals prior to the beginning of the junior year.
