Colleges without majors

College of the Atlantic still has majors, but definitely thinks of them differently than most other colleges. Everyone majors in Human Ecology, and spends 4 years identifying exactly what that means to them and exploring it through different facets of knowledge (I.e. Biology, literature etc.). I’m not overly familiar with COA, but I’m pretty sure all students also complete some sort of capstone project to demonstrate their thinking on Human Ecology.

I think Prescott in Arizona also has a bit of a unique approach to majoring, but not to the same degree as COA or St. John’s.
