It is the mission of the Interdisciplinary Studies program at Â鶹´«Ã½Porn to offer students educational experiences through which they can find coherence, meaning and value in rigorous individualized programs of study--programs that address complex, real-world problems that often go beyond the scope of traditional disciplinary or professional programs of study.

Interdisciplinary Studies students

• have a variety of interests and won’t be satisfied focusing a single major.
• like to think about big problems or issues from different perspectives.
• exercise curiosity and creativity that outruns the strict focus of traditional majors.
• have career goals that are still open or not fixed by a single disciplinary or professional program of study.

Interdisciplinary Studies students are

• adult learners who have interrupted their studies for a prolonged period and return with a different academic focus and career goal.
• undergraduate transfer students whose prior work does not mesh well with existing programs of study at Â鶹´«Ã½Porn.
• part-time students whose work schedules and other responsibilities preclude them from completing more structured majors.
• undergraduate students abandoning highly structured disciplinary or professional majors during their undergraduate career.

Our graduates will have the ability to

• work collaboratively and productively with peers and colleagues who have different perspectives or worldviews;
• think critically, creatively, and boldly; and
• recognize the relevance of disciplinary knowledge to complex issues.

Our graduates leave Â鶹´«Ã½Porn with a variety of skills that make them attractive employees for a wide variety of career possibilities. Interdisciplinary Studies students develop impressive resumes that show both bread and depth in their knowledge. They are excellent collaborators who are well-positioned to pursue their dream careers.
