Interdisciplinary and Interdepartmental Studies
Discover how to become a future leader and innovator through interdisciplinary studies.
Interdisciplinary programs draw from two or more academic disciplines that work together to create a powerful learning experience emphasizing integrative learning, critical thinking, essential questioning and creative problem solving.
Benefits of Interdisciplinary study:
- Discover the value of integrating the study of various academic disciplines suited to your life-long learning interests.
- Embrace new ideas that you couldn’t imagine while studying just one subject in isolation from others.
- Become an interdisciplinary thinker who analytically and creatively embraces new and futuristic ideas.
- Develop collaboration skills while working with others who have different perspectives on problems than yours.
- Prepare for graduate and professional study, and for careers in new and emerging fields.
