<p>A very few Mudd kids end up with an off-campus major at one of the other Claremont Colleges. They still have to fulfill Mudd’s core requirements, which changed this year, and a minor at Mudd. Mudd also offers an independent major (a self-designed major) for kids who decide that the traditional Mudd majors do not best fit their career or future academic plans. Again, this is something a couple of kids in each class might choose to do. These two options, though not selected by many, do offer alternative paths without the need to transfer. It is a safety net…</p>
