Committee Interdisciplinary Major, BS
The Committee Interdisciplinary Major is an option for self-directed and highly motivated students whose academic interests go beyond the existing major programs at UWM.
Students interested in this major must have in mind a topic that connects ideas from more than one major and that cannot be addressed within an existing major. They should discuss this topic with a faculty member who has related research and/or teaching interests to determine whether the topic is truly interdisciplinary.
If the faculty member agrees to advise the student on their topic, the student and the faculty member will work together to identify two more faculty members to serve on the student’s interdisciplinary committee. The student will also work with this faculty advisor to develop the major proposal and declare this major using the Declaration of Committee Interdisciplinary Major form.
Past CIM topics have included Community Development, Ethical Issues and the Law, Pharmaceutical Sales and Promotion, Re-emergence of Eastern Europe, and Science and Health Communication.
Students completing the Committee Interdisciplinary Major must also complete all UWM General Education Requirements. They must also decide whether they will complete a BA or BS degree and fulfill all the requirements of the BA or BS in the College of Letters & Science.
