Interdisciplinary Studies

Do you feel limited by the curriculum of a single major? Would you like to design your own curriculum to link together separate academic interests? If so, then the Interdisciplinary Studies (IS) major may be for you. For self-motivated students, who like the idea of tailoring their own degree, IS is a great solution.  

All students complete IS 499 Capstone in their senior year, which requires an original research project that results in an article-length essay, combining at least two of their discplines.

Students in the major combine academic work in two or three of the following disciplines:

Art (studio)	Art History	Biological Sciences
Business	Chemistry	Communication
Culinary Arts	English	Family Studies
Film Studies	French	Geography
Health & Kinesiology	History	Legal Studies
Mathematics	Music	Philosophy
Political Science	Psychology	Religious Studies
Spanish	Theatre	Women’s Studies
