The Interdisciplinary Studies major allows students to create their own unique degree program by combining two or three concentrations (or academic disciplines/areas of study).
Through the program's core courses, combined academic concentrations and optional experiential learning experiences, Interdisciplinary Studies students develop a strong understanding of their disciplines, their relationship and intersectionality as well as research and problem solving skills. This will ensure program graduates can navigate a rapidly changing global economy over the course of their working lives.
