Individualized Major

Here, You Can Even Create Your Own Major
The University of Maine at Farmington offers some 37 different academic majors, plus an additional 31 minors and even a Ski Industries Certificate Program. But what happens if you're not quite sure what to major in? Or your interests span several academic areas? Or maybe your interests involve an arena where Farmington does not happen to offer a major?

Here you can create your own major — an innovative concept that's unheard of at most colleges. It's something we call an Individualized Major.


Individualized Major: Choosing The Path Not Taken
Here, you can combine academic disciplines and areas to form a unique-as-you major. For years, students at Farmington have chosen to take that path less taken. After all, Individualism is a character trait we embrace here!

Students have tailored their own majors in all sorts of creative ways. The possibilities are as wide and varied as your curiosity and imagination:

  • Music/Writing
  • Business/Psychology
  • Business/Law
  • Art/Business/Disabilities Studies
  • Biology/Psychology
  • Social Science/Special Education
  • Environmental Sustainability
  • Computer Science/Business
  • Psychology/Business Communications
  • Religion/Women's Studies
  • Environmental Science/Turf Grass Mgmt
  • Biology/Chemistry
  • Mass Comm./Environmental Health
  • Business/Community Health Education
  • French/Chinese/Art
  • Health/Environmental Studies
  • Photography/Business
  • Russian Studies/Social Sciences
  • Rehabilitation/English
  • Sociology/Foreign Languages



But You Won't Have to Go It Alone
Although you'll be given the opportunity to trailblazer your own path, you won't be left on your own without a compass. You'll work closely with your academic advisor and others who will help you unleash your academic passions and guide you toward your academic and career goals.

They will help make your chosen path as exciting and interesting and focused as it can possibly be. They'll challenge you to dare to dream, to take your talents as far as your imagination will allow.
