Individualized Academic Major

Degree Awarded: Bachelor of Arts, Bachelor of Fine Arts, or Bachelor of Science*

An individualized academic major is an option available to those students who wish to design a major of their own that is different from the other more traditional majors offered by Lake Erie but still capable of being supported by the resources which the College has at its disposal. Students who wish to pursue this option must obtain an application from the Dean of the College and prepare a proposal which includes clearly defined objectives, a rationale, and a list of specific courses that are to be completed. The Dean of the College or one of the Associate Deans will ordinarily serve as the academic advisor for all students who select this option.

Requirements for the Major:
A minimum of 40 semester credits approved by the Dean of the College, 20 of which must be taken at Lake Erie College.

*In those cases where there is a choice between the BA, the BFA, or the BS degree, the BS is awarded where there are at least three quantitative courses in the major. A quantitative course is defined as one that uses mathematics as its central symbol system.
