Shannon Corliss '03 has chosen the road less traveled at Colby. She is pursuing an . independent major in medieval and Renaissance studies, along with kn art history major. Corliss is one of a small number of students at Colby that have created a major outside of the College's tradi- tional academics. Being an independent major gives students the opportunity to get to know their professors better, Corliss said. Having the opportunity to create her own curriculum was part of why she came to Colby,she said. Explaining why she. decided to design this particular major, Corliss said, "So much of the modern world has roots in the medieval era." What makes the composition of Corliss' independent study interesting, is that it recreates the unity and diver- sity of medieval and Renaissance cul- tures, Corliss said. Colby has a number of professors DEBORAH DOBERNE/ THE COLBY ECHO that specialize in this subject matter, so Shannon Corliss '03 shar es her medieval focus. finding resources was not as difficult as it has been for other independent Corliss is looking at graduate art majors.
