Self-Determined Majors (SDM) integrate more than one discipline to achieve a clearly developed and coherent course of study not available through the existing majors and minors at Skidmore. A Self-Determined Major, therefore, extends the depth and interdisciplinarity of double majors or interdepartmental majors. Recent Self-Determined Majors include Media Studies and Communications, Computational Neuroscience, Arts Administration, and the Physics and Sound of Recording.
