Self-Directed Concentration
The Self-Directed Concentration allows students to create their own interdisciplinary course of study. It combines four upper-division (i.e., 300-400-level) courses from two (or more) academic areas into a new area of study that does not already exist in the School of Business or UW Bothell. A Self-Directed Concentration may be a good choice for students creating their own career niche or wavering between two existing concentrations/options. The Self-Directed Concentration is NOT meant to allow students to pick and choose a handful of classes without developing a clear goal. Students interested in the Self-Directed Concentration should make an appointment with their Academic Advisor to find out about the declaration and approval process.
