Highly motivated students in a School of Theater, Film, and Television major who find that no single major accommodates their specific interest in a given subject may propose designing their own major. Proposals are prepared with faculty guidance and sponsorship and are thoroughly examined for cogency, completeness, and academic merit. The student in consultation with the faculty advisor develops an individualized plan for a course of study that either combines two or more fields or creates a wholly new field; this plan cannot replicate any existing UCLA undergraduate majors.
Faculty: School of Theater, Film, and Television | Department: Theater, Film, and Television Schoolwide Programs | Study mode: full-time | Location: Los Angeles, CA, United States
