The University's purpose is to educate people to approach life by enhancing their ability to draw on multiple perspectives. We will use the Human Development program as an example. Psychology, Biology, Sociology, History, and Anthropology are therefore all integral parts that are combined together to make up the whole of the Human Development program.
Students simply get a bigger and better picture of the field.
This broad perspective helps when students are trying understand and solve a problem. As students are not trained for one thing, they are able to draw upon different information and backgrounds when faced with any situation in their life and career. Let's say, for example, that you are studying the problem of hyperactivity in a child. As you can see, the Interdisciplinary perspective takes the single topic of hyperactivity and approaches from many different angles in an effort to fully understand it. In contrast, the Disciplinary perspective might study hyperactivity in a child by only looking at the biological factors.
