Pre-Professional Programs

Interdisciplinary Major

Students may also develop an individualized interdisciplinary major, with the endorsement of the related departments and the registrar.

The Green Germany group traveled to Bohnstedt, a town with a solar field, wind turbines and a biogas plant. They also had the opportunity to climb to the top of a wind turbine and learn more about how they work.

Undecided? You're not alone...

23% of first-year students at Luther have not declared a major by the end of their first year—and many students change their mind at least once.
