RATIONALE
In three to five pages present a persuasive rationale for the individualized major you are proposing. You may wish to show why existing majors are insufficient for your needs and how the proposed major will better serve your personal interests or professional goals. Be sure to describe in words the courses that will comprise your major and explain why they are there. Students proposing majors in traditional fields should discuss the history and nature of the discipline, describe its subfields and the methodologies it employs, and show how the proposed major fits within this framework. Those designing unique majors need to establish the intellectual unity of the proposed major and show appreciation of the different disciplinary traditions and methodologies on which it will draw. Explain and justify any exceptions requested.
