Interdisciplinary Concentration
The Hamilton curriculum is about forging creative connections. If it doesn’t offer what you need, with faculty guidance you may design an interdisciplinary major that fits your needs precisely. Imagine the possibilities; say, for instance, Hispanic studies/women's studies/computer science or philosophy/mathematics/dance. It can happen at Hamilton.
About the Major
Hamilton’s liberal arts curriculum dispenses with core courses and encourages academic freedom of choice. That allows most students to pursue their interests in a traditional major or concentration, where they can focus on a particular topic while exploring many other fields. Occasionally, however, students have interests and needs that are different or highly specialized. In such instances, they may work with members of the faculty to create their own concentration. Learn more about declaring an interdisciplinary concentration.
There's a certain amount of excitement to wrap my head around the fact that I can study film, whether it's in the thick of the Hamilton snow, the romance of a Parisian spring, or the charm of the Czech winter, solely because I could mix and match to come up with something perfectly suited to my needs.
