A challenging, customized program
The Individually Structured Major (ISM) offers you a unique opportunity to design an independent and interdisciplinary major if your desired plan of study cannot be accommodated by existing majors or minors at Alfred University. This major is open to highly motivated, self-directed students seeking a rigorous program of their choosing. Students propose their Individually Structured Major during their sophomore year and work closely with an advisory team of faculty members for support throughout their education. During their senior year, ISM students complete a capstone project to complete their studies and prepare for graduate school or the world of work.
