At least at Brown, the reasons are many. If you want to create your own major, you can, tailoring it to your interests. Many programs are also doable with a combination of an existing major and a few courses. In addition, Brown believes that college academics extend well beyond the majors. The math bachelor of arts program requires 6 courses (and 2 prerequisites) because they see value in taking a variety of courses outside of their department. It’s generally more important to focus on a coherent group of courses than ways to fulfill a major.

Does anyone else have other reasons?
