When a student's educational objectives cannot be fully attained solely = by study within an existing department, program, or school, he or she is gi= ven the option of devising an ad hoc pattern of courses in an area of conce= ntration of his or her own choosing. A student may embark upon an arts and = sciences ad hoc major following preparation and formal acceptance of a prop= osal outlining the area of study, the desired outcomes, and the educational= values of the program. Arts and sciences ad hoc majors have been devised b= y students interested in majoring in area studies, childrens studies, fine = and performing arts, modern languages, the natural sciences, and religion a= nd culture.
As described above, the arts and sciences ad hoc major is a student-desi= gned course of study. Students create this major by combining courses from = two or more departments into an integrated field of study with a clear libe= ral arts focus. There is no ad hoc major within the Zicklin School of Busin= ess or the School of Public Affairs.
The Weissman School of Arts and Sciences ad hoc major requires a minimum= of 30 credits, with at least 24 liberal arts credits. The major must conta= in courses from at least two different Weissman departments, with a minimum= of three courses (9=E2=80=9312 credits) from each of those departments, an= d may contain no more than two courses from the discipline in which the stu= dent intends to complete a minor (those one or two courses cannot be u= sed toward completion of the minor). A maximum of three non=E2=80=93liberal= arts courses may be included in an ad hoc major to provide support and/or = supplementation to a strong liberal arts concept. No more than three course= s from the Zicklin School of Business (3000-level and above) may be used in= a Weissman ad hoc major. Students interested in including business courses= in their ad hoc major should refer to the following website for the list o= f courses approved for use: http://www.baruch.cuny.edu/wsas/student_resources/declare_major_= ad_hoc.htm
Students are required to attend an ad hoc workshop led by Dr.Wendy Heyma= n, Arts and Sciences Coordinator in the Starr Career Development Center. On= ce drafted, the ad hoc proposal must be reviewed and approved by Dr. Heyman= , faculty advisors from two of the Weissman departments in which at least t= hree courses (9=E2=80=9312 credits) will be completed, and the Office of th= e Associate Dean,Weissman School of Arts and Sciences.
The following interdisciplinary concentrations offer specific guidelines= . Please make an appointment with the appropriate faculty advisor.
