Individualized Majors
A student may also choose to propose an individualized major that combines coursework from two or more academic programs. These are designed in consultation with academic advisors in each program. The individualized major must be sponsored by at least one faculty member and must be approved by the Academic Program Committee. Individualized majors will also need to include a capstone experience approved through their advisor. Students with an individualized major may apply for program honors through their advisors.
International students must have the approval of the director of international studies to submit an individual major proposal.
Academic Minors
Students may also choose a minor at Hiram. Minors are offered in almost every program. Some minors offered are interdisciplinary in nature. Usually a minor consists of 18 to 20 semester hours. Most minors cannot be taken in the same academic program as the major. Information about the requirements for both majors and minors is available from program faculty.
