Pre-Professional Programs

Interdisciplinary Major

Students may also develop an individualized interdisciplinary major, with the endorsement of the related departments and the registrar.

Phi Beta Kappa

Phi Beta Kappa Key

Love of learning is the guide of life.

Phi Beta Kappa, the oldest, most distinguished honor society in the country, promotes excellence in the liberal arts, and every year Luther's chapter brings leading scholars to campus and inducts students of high academic achievement.

Undecided? You're not alone...

23% of first-year students at Luther have not declared a major by the end of their first year—and many students change their mind at least once.
