Courses of Study

Choosing your path

The breadth and flexibility of Knox's programs create options you'd otherwise only find at bigger, less personal institutions. We offer more than 60 courses of study, including 38 majors and 49 minors, pre-professional and cooperative programs in the arts, humanities, sciences, and social sciences. If your academic exploration leads you down a path that doesn't quite fit a program we already offer, we'll help you design your own major.
