Interdisciplinary Studies

Programs within the School of Interdisciplinary Studies provide students with a broader learning experience and a wider perspective. Because of the individualized focus and flexibility, the programs are appropriate for both students preparing to enter the workplace and those planning to continue their studies. Most of all, they serve those students who seek a thorough grounding the arts and sciences from an interdisciplinary perspective.
