Not only is the idea integrated in the core study but it has also been encouraged in areas of concentrated study. It is not always easy to define. At the undergraduate level there is an even broader application of the idea. Interdisciplinarity is a educational concept which says that no single area of study can or should stand alone.
All fields of study have important impact on others.
In order to more fully understand one specific educational subject, we must, at least basically, understand how other subjects affect it. Colorado College supports this way of learning through the specific Interdisciplinary Studies programs and through a multitude of thematic minors. In order to support the curriculum, Tutt library created the position of Interdisciplinary Librarian. It's not really my field. This new library position will examine and strengthen the collection with the specific needs of interdisciplinary programs in mind.
