Programs for Specific Majors or Fields of Study

Students from all majors and disciplines have participated and thrived on Living Routes programs. All Living Routes programs are interdisciplinary, with courses from several fields of study comprising each program. Additionally, students, in close collaboration with faculty, develop their own learning goals and Learning Plan, which help students pursue individual academic interests outside the curriculum. While we advocate for students studying where and what interests them in pursuit of learning and experience, regardless of major or intended field of study, we understand the pressure to fulfill requirements in certain credit areas. Below is a short list of Fields of Study and Living Routes programs that have relevant course content and field experience:
