I went to this information session because I think that the majors at Baruch are not exactly what Iwant. When I went i was surprised at how basic the process was to creat your own major. Basically you have to complete course pre-requesites and make sure at 60% of the classes are taken at Baruch college. Then obtain and fill out a application of Ad Hoc major with a explanation. Also write a 1 to 1 1/2 page explanation of why these courses you selected work well together. This paper should also includeinformation on how you can’t achieve this ‘integrated knowledge base’ through existing Baruch majors and how his area of study helps you reach your educational goals. Then you fill out a major specialization form and submit it to get approved. You have to get approved by Dr. Wendy Heyman, Arts & Science Coordinator, Starr Career Development Center, the faculty advisors from two of the WSAS departments and the Office of the Associative Dean. I think writing the explanation and the approval process would be the most difficult part. But you would have the opportunity to get help from any Academic Advisor or Dr. Wendy Heyman. I think in the future i will be going through this same process. I actually saw a couple of samples and they look really good. The majors that students came up with make sense. One thing i would like to know though is; how effective are these majors in finding a job? Do they actually help or is a waste of time? Are employers more likely look at your Ad Hoc major or look more for the conventional ones? When I’m ready to go through with this I would have to set up an appointment with someone to get these questions answered.
