This question might be a little irrelevant to premed, but I am still interested in hearing your thoughts about this:
I decided to transfer to a small private school, which does not offer the major of my choice (Philosophy) but they do offer a minor in it, or a concentration in it through the interdisciplinary studies major.
The thing is that I want to add it as my second major, but this school does not allow double majors.
Now, I wonder, if I should go to the dean and ask about adding a Philosophy major and letting me double major? I was particularly inspired by a TED talk called: "100 days of rejection" (If you saw it) and think it might actually happen if I work with one of the faculty members into creating the program. It might also leave a lasting impact on the school. Since it is a small private school that tries to attract new students and expand itself, I feel like they can benefit from adding a Philosophy major.
What do you think? Should I go for it? I mean I have nothing to lose but my time.
I want to know, has anyone ever done this? Is this even a realistic ambition?
