An individualized major is a customized program of study designed specifically to meet student interests. Individualized majors may include courses and learning experiences from more than one subject area and from more than one division. You and a faculty advisor collaborate to develop specific, measurable learning outcomes and assessment strategies, drawing on expertise provided by other faculty members and professionals in the chosen discipline.
Examples of prior individualized majors include areas such as adult education, fire service management, labor relations, and ministerial studies. Students interested in learning more about individualized major opportunities should contact Ottawa University to schedule an appointment with a faculty advisor.
