The University Major makes possible these unlikely kinds of majors--and many more.

At Fontbonne, you don't have to trade one interest for another. And if you have a clear vision for what you'd like to do, we can help you translate that vision into a custom-designed major.

Lots of smart, passionate Fontbonne students have a hard time narrowing their interests, simply because they don't fit into just one category. As a University Major, you will work with faculty members to choose classes from across the curriculum and develop a unique major. You create a major based in two--or more--fields of study, uniting your interests and preparing you for the job or graduate program you really want.

Although your diploma will name you as a University Major, our graduates tell us that on resumes they simply list the name "Mass Communications" or "American Culture Studies" as the name of their degree, and employers take note accordingly.

The University Major is a special program that showcases some of the best things about Fontbonne: individual attention, intellectual curiousity, and limitless opportunity.

Why Fontbonne?

  • Our small class sizes and individual attention mean you won't get lost in the shuffle between the various departments in which you'll study. What's more, you'll have a home base in Interdisciplinary Studies.
  • Our strong professional programs combine ideally with our vibrant liberal arts courses.
  • With 31 majors and 18 minors, you'll have plenty of options from which to choose.
  • You easily can build off-campus experience or study abroad into your course of study.

What can I do with my degree?

  • Whatever you design it to do!
  • Demonstrate to employers or graduate schools that you have the initiative, the curiosity, and the brains to learn more and be more with your choice of college major. Before you even graduate, you've proven to be a fresh thinker with big ideas.
  • Contribute to the workforce as a person who knows how to synthesize fluently ideas from multiple fields.
