Interdisciplinary Studies
The Interdisciplinary Studies major offers motivated students the opportunity to shape their own program of study in close consultation with their faculty advisors. The IDS major does not have a pre-determined sequence of required classes; instead, IDS majors identify a program of study, selecting courses from across the curriculum with the overall goal of studying a particular issue/problem/topic from a range of disciplinary and interdisciplinary perspectives. The flexibility of the IDS major invites students to be pro-active and creative in designing their course of study. The base of knowledge and the analytical and critical skills acquired by IDS majors prepares them for a wide range of career options and for graduate study in a variety of fields.
