Attitude Towards Individual Plans of Study Major

Hello all,

I am curious as to what the opinion is on individual courses of study. Say if I were to create a Government and Economy curriculum, or something along those lines.

Is there a consensus? Does it just not happen?

I don't know how the individual plan of study major is perceived, but can you not study economics and political science/international relations instead (major in one and minor in the other)? That way you don't have to reinvent the wheel.

Degrees combining economics and politics are common in many reputable universities around the world (sometimes adding philosophy or sociology as well).

 

Top 15 public with OCR.

I could do that, but there is an unrelated minor that I want, so I am trying to see if how I can work with the time I have left.
