Recent Majors created by Whittier Scholars graduates
Students in the Whittier Scholars Program can design individualized majors and minors, as well as pursue any existing major at the College. Below is an alphabetical list of over 100 majors created and completed by 2014 – 2019 graduates. Many simultaneously completed secondary majors or minors in existing fields, or coursework preparatory for medical school or other post-graduate endeavors.
Individualized majors consist of 30-60 credits (usually 10-18 classes), with depth of study in at at least two fields. Majors must include coursework that develops proficiency in a methodology or theoretical paradigm that undergirds a sustained research or creative project, the senior capstone in the program.
