From environmental studies to excercise science, students across the country are custom-designing their own courses of study and creating majors that allow them to combine often-eclectic academic interests with career goals. The topical major was created for students whose interests cut across traditional departmental and college lines and who want to be on the "cutting edge" of today's job market. It allows students to satisfy a niche that could not be fulfilled in any of the college's traditional departments. If you have many interests or interests that go beyond a specific discipline, you may select a topic of concentration rather than a departmental major. A topical major offers you academic flexibility and the opportunity to cross departmental and even college lines.
