self-designed major, how to explain?

I have the option of designing a major which I would like to do but I have to be able to explain it.
It would consists of a certificate of public health, a certificate of non-profit management, along with multiple political science, history, and psychology classes. I would get more out of this self-designed major than I would a traditional major as with the non-profit management aspect I would be learning about grant writing and so forth and it's less focused on one aspect although public health, non-profit management , political science and psychology all suggest that I would likely either be looking to work for the government in some aspect or at a non-profit organization attempting to improve the lives of people or further studying people in graduate work.

This would be at the University of Iowa uiowa.edu

Well tell them what you just told us!! Except add some math and science unfun type classes in there so they'll be more likely to go for it.
