Can I combine any two majors?
Where do I start?
First things first: the most important part about the majors and minors below is that something here sparks a curiosity in you. Then, if you choose to bring that curiosity to Bowdoin, your faculty mentors and advisors will help you build a plan that combines—and strengthens—what you're passionate about.
Regardless of what you choose to study, a Bowdoin education prepares you for a meaningful and impactful life, grounded in independent thinking, individual action, and social responsibility.
