Majors and Minors
When it comes to majors, Centre offers real benefits. Since we encourage self-designed majors, your choices are virtually unlimited. (Examples of recent student-designed majors include design and culture, social justice studies, religion and the performing arts, and public policy.)
You may also choose to complete a double major during your four years at Centre. Multiple majors make you more attractive to employers and increase career options for the future.
