Interdisciplinary Studies

Return to: Academic Divisions and Departments

Interdisciplinary studies combine courses from more than one discipline, permitting students to explore an area of interest from several perspectives.  In some cases, two fields are combined to form one major.  In others, several disciplines are represented in the major or minor requirements.  Where a major is not available, students may concentrate on a topic of interest as they complete the general academic requirements and choose their electives.  In this way, they may elect groups of courses of special interest to them.
