Individualized Major Programs Conference
For the last four decades many U.S. universities have offered undergraduate students the opportunity to design their own "individualized majors." Some universities have well-developed individualized major programs; others offer a degree option to students on an ad hoc basis. Since 2009, this annual conference has assembled individualized major faculty, advisors, and administrators to consider the lessons to be learned across the range of individualized major practices.
Upcoming Conference
The 2013 conference will be held in Denver, Colorado, on the campus of the Metropolitan State University of Denver. For details, please contact Dr. Elizabeth Parmelee at eparmel1@msudenver.edu or (303) 556-8342.
