What Is An Interdisciplinary Studies Degree?
Critical-thinking ability. Powers of analysis and problem solving. Adeptness at oral and written communication. Working well within a team. These are the skills that never lose their relevance and are always in demand. The forever skills.
With our B.A. in Interdisciplinary Studies, you will make these skills your own. You’ll pull together a number of different disciplines — in the humanities, sciences, and arts — to take on complex problems, exercising your growing powers of analysis and critical thinking ability to create workable solutions, which you will subsequently present with clarity and precision. There isn’t a career field in existence that doesn’t require — and place enormous value on — this skill set.
The Most Individualized Major There Is
This major is all about you — your specific interests, personal strengths, and career goals and even the high probability that you will change careers once, twice, or more in your lifetime. With that personal profile in mind, you will create your own major by combining minors in different disciplines, thereby expanding your breadth of knowledge without sacrificing depth of knowledge.
Working in collaboration with your academic advisor, you will construct a coherent, interdisciplinary program of study that will meet both short-term career goals and lifelong potentials.
