At Merrimack, there’s no one-size-fits-all approach to college. Everyone’s journey is different and we strive to create a personalized academic experience that’s just as unique as you are.
That’s why we offer interdisciplinary majors which allow you to integrate minors from different academic areas across our five schools.
Are you passionate about physics but interested in a business career? Or enthusiastic about the environment yet intrigued by data science?
These unique, innovative majors allow you to explore multiple academic areas, expand your career opportunities and stay on track for graduation.
You can expect to work with a dedicated advisor for both your academic and career needs throughout your college experience at Merrimack. Our advisors are here to help you from your first week of freshman year to senior year’s last final exam.
A combined major at Merrimack opens you to more opportunities by helping you gain more skills during your time here. You’ll be prepared to work in multiple different avenues with the combination of skills you acquire.
Meet like-minded students with similar career goals to you. Pursuing a combined major provides you with affinity group status – this means getting access to specific on-campus resources, support and more.
The O’Brien Center for Career Development and your career advisor will work to place you in a guaranteed internship, typically during your junior year. Services through the O’Brien Center are available year round.
Please note that these are potential samples of the coursework you may take after declaring your combined major. Your advisor will work with you to develop your curriculum for your time at Merrimack College.
Beginning in fall 2024, Merrimack students can pursue a five-course minor or three-course certificate as part of their core curriculum requirements.
