When a student's educational objectives cannot be fully attained solely by study within an existing department, program, or school, he or she is given the option of devising an ad hoc pattern of courses in an area of concentration 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 proposal outlining the area of study, the desired outcomes, and the educational values of the program. Arts and sciences ad hoc majors have been devised by students interested in majoring in area studies, childrens children's studies, fine and performing arts, modern languages, the natural sciences, and religion and culture.

The Weissman School of Arts and Sciences ad hoc major requires a minimum consists of 30-33 credits, with at least 24 liberal arts credits. The major must contain courses from at least two different Weissman departments, with a minimum of three courses (9–12 credits) from each of those departments, and may contain no more than two courses from the discipline in which the student intends to complete a minor (those one or two courses cannot be used toward completion of the minor). A maximum of three non–liberal 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 courses 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 of 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 HeymanSandra Kupprat, Arts and Sciences Coordinator in the Starr Career Development Center.
