Interdisciplinary Studies

The Interdisciplinary Studies program is part of the College of Arts and Sciences. The Interdisciplinary Studies major is designed to allow students, under the supervision of selected faculty, an opportunity to pursue a course of study outside existing majors by combining course work around a theme or topic utilizing an interdisciplinary approach. Students majoring in Interdisciplinary Studies are expected to complete an IDS application to declare their intentions as early as possible, but no later than the first semester of the junior year. For more information and an application, please contact the Dean of the College of Arts & Sciences.
