Has anyone heard of the interdisciplinary UT Austin Humanities Honors program?
https://liberalarts.utexas.edu/humanities/
I was invited to do it after admittance into COLA for BS Psyc. I'm interested in the program as you create your own major and course curriculum and they claim it offers schollys for study abroad and you conduct a thesis your senior year.
The limitations seem to be endless for the major you create, the director gave me an example: Since I am pre-med, if I were interested in studying in Brazil, I could create a major like Global Medicine and include courses like Portugese, Latin American Studies, Global Medicine and also incorporate the pre-med requirements.
Does this sound like something worthwhile for a hopeful pre-med? thanks!

I'd also be careful with pigeonholing your major into something directly medicine-related; in case medical school doesn't work out for whatever reason, it would be good to have something more broadly applicable to other career options as well! Just my two cents
