This program is under the Arts and Sciences umbrella and requires the student to meet all of the traditional requirements for that program. The student has to write a paper to justify his major and meet with a committee that approves the major. At the end of the program, a thesis paper is required as part of completion for the program.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3406509183596335885.post-63811900939605433142010-05-11T14:39:38.272-04:002010-05-11T14:39:38.272-04:00Way to go Jordan.

As someone who has helped a student through the process, I should tell all sophomores reading this...<br /><br />The independent concentrator program at Princeton requires that student-initiated concentrations meet very strict and limiting criteria, meaning that most independent concentrations are either combinations of well tread disciplines, or disciplines that Princeton has a program, but not a department for, such as linguistics and bioethics. One such limitation is that no 'trade' or 'occupational' majors are allowed, so no journalism or pre-business, etc. You also have to write a thesis just like anyone else.<br /><br />As a result, according to an article written a couple years ago, while 20 or so students start out in the application process, the board only ultimately approves 2 or 3 student-initiated concentrations each year. So, don't spend sophomore year thinking you can graduate from Princeton with the wave of a wand.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
