Overview

Students at Muhlenberg College have the opportunity to design their own major. To design a major is to create a structured set of courses and/or experiences that will give them the knowledge and skills appropriate for advanced inquiry or work in their chosen subject. Students are free to propose a wide variety of Self-Designed Majors (SDMs); however, it is important to recognize that there are some limits to the SDMs that can be realistically pursued within the liberal arts context of Muhlenberg College. Most successful SDMs focus on subjects that can be studied within the context of two or more existing majors or minors. Indeed, most successful SDMs propose majors in subjects that are interdepartmental or interdisciplinary in scope. In recent years, students have developed a wide range of SDMs including Gender and Sexuality Studies, Gender and Conflict, Africana Studies, Black Voice and Cultural Studies, Cognitive Science, Bioethics, Digital Design, Education Advocacy, Social Justice, Inter-arts Performance and Composition, Comedy Arts, and Classical Studies.

OPT and STEM OPT eligibility depend on maintaining F-1 status and on the program. A program counts as STEM only when its CIP code is on the official STEM list — not because its name sounds technical.
