Bring together the best features of a variety of majors or minors into one tidy package with interdisciplinary majors and minors.

INTERDISCIPLINARY MAJORS

AFRICANA STUDIES MAJOR: anthropology, history, literature, philosophy, political science, theology

Learn about the historical, cultural and political facets of the African-American experience. Unlike programs at many other universities, Marquette’s major emphasizes religious and spiritual dimensions. A strong complement to any major in the humanities and social sciences, the major is also excellent preparation for law school or graduate school.

APPLIED MATHEMATICAL ECONOMICS MAJOR: mathematics and economics

Highly technical studies in micro- and macroeconomic analysis, comparative statistics, differential calculus, forecasting and econometric modeling prepare you for a career as an economist, actuary, analyst, consultant or any other professional field that relies upon mathematical forecasting and modeling.

ELECTRONIC COMMUNICATION STUDIES MAJOR: broadcast and electronic communication with business, economics, education or health science

INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS MAJOR: see international affairs

WOMEN'S STUDIES MAJOR: see women's studies
