The highly flexible Master of Arts degree in Interdisciplinary Studies is a creative alternative to the more rigid formats of traditional, discipline-specific academic and professional training programs. Students can build on their particular professional or academic interests and concentrate on specialized fields that might not be available in traditional programs. Students develop their individualized specializations in consultation with a faculty advisor and incorporate at least two disciplines into their program of study. Inclusion of a field study component in the program is strongly recommended. Students who want to prepare for provisional teaching certification can do so as part of the Interdisciplinary Studies Master's degree.
Provisional certification is offered at the early childhood, elementary, and middle school levels.
