EARN A DEGREE CUSTOMIZED TO FIT YOUR NEEDS <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Chart your own major path! The multidisciplinary major allows you to create a unique pathway to complete a bachelor’s degree. It gives students an opportunity to design their major, capitalizing on diverse interests. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Students will propose their major, using unique combinations of existing UW-Stevens Point majors, minors, and certificates that will be coherent and challenging. You must propose your program prior to completing 75 credits, including all transfer credits, to be sure the courses you need are available and can be integrated into your major pathway.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
