- At least 32 and no more than 56 credits
- No more than 32 credits from the same disciplinary prefix
- At least 12 upper-division credits and at least 12 lower-division credits
- At least one Writing-centered credit
- An integrative senior capstone
If the Independent Major is a second major, no more than 50% of the coursework in the first major may be counted towards it.
Students seeking to begin the process of designing an Individualized Major should contact the College of Arts & Sciences Deans’ Office, either in person at Smullin 108 or via email at cla-dean@willamette.edu.
Willamette University is committed to supporting students pursuing an Individualized Major with generous merit scholarships and financial aid. There is no separate application required for these scholarships. All admitted undergraduate applicants are automatically considered for merit-based scholarships, starting at $26,000 per year. These scholarships are awarded based on academic excellence, taking into account cumulative GPA and SAT or ACT scores, if provided.
