<p>To clarify an earlier comment, official majors require state approval. Interdepartmental majors within the school use existing majors. Sorry about the confusion. </p>
<p>But I would never go to a school thinking, “I’m going to make up my own major.” That’s silly. You go to a school because you want to go there, because it’s affordable for your family and because they offer what you want to study. Your ideas about what you want and how you want to do things change and develop while you’re in school. UR offers many options for study, including Take 5 if your academic interests mean you need an extra year. (Look up the Take 5 program.) But you shouldn’t go in thinking about that stuff; you should go to school thinking about being a freshman, taking those classes, finding things you want to do (like clubs) and then seeing what you want to do.</p>
