Build your own degree

[cookderosa]

Is anyone familiar with a school that will allow you to build your own degree. I've heard of some that will allow you to create your own degree by just mixing classes from various programs at the same school, but I'm more looking for one where you actually create your own classes. It seems no school offers a program that I feel meets my needs about what I want to learn or even comes close to it, if I look at various programs I see individual classes that I would want surrounded by classes that are not even close to what I want. I'm trying to avoid taking 1 class at 10 different schools to transfer in to TESC or something, but somewhere where I can create my own lesson plans and learning outcomes.

There are several reasons you'll likely not find this, mostly due to regulation and policy restrictions and even laws. However, a liberal arts degree does allow you to pick and pull from all general education fields to create a degree. Social science (my degree) allowed me to use sociology, psychology, social psychology, anthropology, and history to create my degree. I had full flexibility to pick and choose, and found my major classes very enjoyable (some were unexpectedly so!).

Remember that a degree is a credential, so in order to earn that company's credential, you have to do what they say Nobody "wants" to take English 101 lol.

What are your interests? I might be able to help you brainstorm and find a way to pull in areas of interest.
