Interdisciplinary

You can be successful in Interdisciplinary Studies if you are highly-motivated, goal-oriented and enjoy working independently. With support from an academic adviser, you will translate a career or personal goal into a solid academic plan that is broadly based and rounds out your degree plan.

You will be prepared to embark on a variety of pathways, including

• new leadership positions with your current employer that require a bachelor’s degree.
• new employment opportunities that showcase your critical thinking skills and your global perspective.
• professional degree programs such as law or medicine.

Individualized plans of study can be constructed to prepare for many career paths.
